Thread: My experience at the polls today

No lines, no waiting, didn't even ask to see your voters registration card, let alone anything else. Just give your name, sign the paper and they hand you a ballot. Fill in the circle...stick it in the machine and the nice lady gives you a sticker that says "I voted". I couldn't hear the whole conversation but one gentleman was having a problem.......seems someone early voted using his name. He was elderly and just was confused as to what do I do now? One name, one vote...the end. Pulling out his ID's didn't matter....sorry...a vote has been cast in your name. So he quietly went on his way. Thought it was strange but not surprising.

It was extreemly quiet....no one even dressed in red, white and blue.....no one even talked except to send you to the right person who was handling the B's or R's etc. There was a daycare going on in the church and the only sounds was occationally something from the kids.....

we would be naive if we did'nt conceed that voting fraud is a problem in many areas of this country. The thing that scares me most about it is the lack of outrage over it......

At least here in Nevada you need to show pic id and you have
to be on the roll book

This crap has to stop. You can bet if they pull that stuff when I go to vote, I'll make so much noise the walls will shake.

The story about the gentleman outrages me!!

A man who has probably voted since he was old enough, no doubt fought in this country, and he is denied his legitimate right to vote because someone stole that right from him!!!

I can only imagine how he felt leaving that polling place

I was shocked that they didn't ask for even your voters registration card. Name, what party, sign, here's your ballot....the end. Granted your name had to be in the book but it's just a photo stat of the paper you filled out at the drivers license bureau when you signed up. Nothing else. They had a little ticket they tore off the page to hand to you. If that stub was gone...you couldn't vote. Didn't even double check anything as to just say whats the address? Nothing. Way, way to easy for fraud...........

When I voted this morning, I waited in line for 15 minutes to check in with my id and voter card, then 15 minutes in the line to get my paper ballot, then about 2 minutes to put my vote in the box. I noticed a huge number of democrats, because we were all given a piece of paper with an r or a d on it. I will go back to my polling place tonight at 7:30 when the poll closes and follow the election sherrif to where they are going to count the votes and watch them. I did notice that the few who used the voting machine were having problems and needed the help of the tech, not sure why though.

No lie.....the tab was gone and a box marked for "early voted". There was one for absentee ballot as well. He was just confused....but one vote, one name....the end. No recourse.

This is just horrible.

I just hope that he looks further into it. He may not be able to do anything about the vote, but the least he should do is make sure someone hasn't stolen his identity.

All I know is it's sad to think anyone can vote early, request an absentee ballot....or even in situation like today....know your hours at work and vote before you get the chance too and there's nothing you can do. Just find that very strange....whoever gets to the polls first wins....even if they aren't the right person.
