There will me much fist shaking
I got to the polling place around 7:30. The line wasn't horrible and I figured I'd be out in half an hour or so. But since the address on my ID didn't match the one in the book, the lady said I had to vote by provisional ballot. I went along with it for a few minutes until someone behind me had the same problem and complained and they figured out that we should be able to vote at the machines if the address in the book is correct.
So. I went back and said I'd rather vote at the machine than cast a provisional ballot. Well, it turns out there was a note in the book saying I couldn't vote at the machine and had to cast a provisional ballot. Of course I didn't understand this and it took three people a full five minutes to figure out why this note was there. Apparently my registration card was "undeliverable" and had been returned to sender.
My registration card that I'm staring at right now that was delivered in the mail about a month ago.
And so after all the trouble, I still had to cast a provisional ballot because someone screwed up either at the board of elections or the postal service and god knows if my vote will even count so needless to say I'm a little pissed off, but now I have to go to work all day with no way to check the news until after 8pm.
If Obama loses Ohio by one vote, I will kill someone.
