I need to report a voting problem!

Edited on Tue Nov-02-04 07:43 AM by meganmonkey

The sweet little old election official lady couldn't find my name on the list, even though she was looking at the right page. But I saw it and pointed it out for her, so everything is under control. And then I voted for our next President, John F. Kerry!!!!!!!!!

;)

Hee Hee! Kerry In A LANDSLIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. you had me worried for a minute

You had me worried there for a minute but so glad it worked out in your favor. I have had that exact same experience myself. The poll worker doing his or her best trying to find by name but either due to poor vision or improper glasses or both they go right by it and I typically find it myself even reading upside down and from right to left. Glad to hear you vote for the man. Go Kerry Go!!!

4. Yeah, I saw my name upside-down

and I tried to be so patient and she kept looking up and down the page and I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be looking at the list, you know, privacy or whatever, but she was about to give up and I couldn't take it anymore. So I had to tell her. She was really cute.

7. Thanks, but it was just a little joke!

I figured the thread title would get a little attention!
