i refuse to do the electronic ballots, way more stories of voter fraud.

speaking of voter fraud, i got my own taste of it this year.
i was worried because it was october 30th, and i hadn't received my registration card. i called the county registrar and was told my registration was canceled because my license number was invalid. i was confused, because i used their website "am i registered" and with my driver's license discovered i was still registered in my previous county of residence.

so i was told i had to go to the county registrar's office on friday before 7pm for early voting to fill out paperwork and a provisional ballot, which would be counted only after all of my information was validated.

i got there, filled out my paperwork and was called up. they then told me my registration wasn't processed because it was incomplete. i mentioned that the person i spoke with before told me it was because my license wasn't coming up as valid. the fact that i was getting a different story already made me wary. the clerk pulled up the form i sent in and was confused, as my form was complete, everything was correct, including my license number, cross referenced with the card.

so after all this i was told it was fixed in the system and my registration card would be mailed to me in a few days, and to proceed down the hall with a post-it with my registration number and vote.

crisis averted, but still, i felt very disenfranchised at first. if i hadn't inquired before early voting ended, i would have been screwed out of my vote. why did the registrar randomly decide my registration wasn't good enough?
