Voting problems?

[Tippiechick]

SIDENOTE(Heads up Winniebug and Squirrelygirl if you are still registered to vote where I live...)

I knew going in to early vote that the election commission would be extra stringent on checking ids. But, I provided my voter reg. card AND my driver's license.

I was initially turned away b/c the lady said my signatures didn't match.

On my d.l. from 2004, I signed (as I was told) my full name (first, maiden, last). When I sign my WHOLE name, I end up printing my last name. Then, Tennessee shrinks it down to fit on the card.

On my voter reg. card, I signed (as I do on everything official, unless told otherwise) my first two initials, last name, all in cursive.

She said there was NO way they were the same. I told her I don't always sign everything the same everytime. She told me, "People's signatures DO NOT change!"

Thank goodness I had signed my social security card with my whole name all in cursive and had it with me! She was going to turn me away and refuse to let me vote if I hadn't had it!

What the hell? I showed MORE than is required by law. I showed a state-issued photo-i.d. in addition to the county issued voter card...
