Voter registration wtfery.
Mar. 25th, 2008 02:13 pmSo I just got this letter in the mail:
Dear Voter:
Enclosed you will find a new Voter ID card. There has been a change in your Polling Place because of a past error. We have recently found these mistakes through our new computer system as well as finding that we had maps with incorrect Precinct lines.
WTF. I don't live in a metropolis. My regular voting location has been city hall. I can drive to city hall, check in and vote, and be back home in ten minutes. Apparently this new location is pretty close--it's just in an area I never visit--but I am slightly befuddled and mostly bemused that we are big enough to need multiple polling locations.
Then there's the small matter of MY NAME IS NOT SALONA. I get to go to the Board of Registrars tomorrow! Oh and even weirder, they sent my sister's new voter ID card in my envelope.
