So 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.

Salona? Hee! Is that something like "Willona", for whom I was named?

Hee, I don't know. I printed neatly on my card--I don't how it got all crazy. I do need to get it changed, although I've been able to vote with it every time.

Salona?! It is, at least, an improvement on Salami.

I can't believe they'd send you your sister's ID as well. Unless voter fraud is being actively encouraged so that should the 'wrong' result happen they can claim foul. Is that too conspiracy theory?

Yes, that's an upside.

I don't know--that was really strange. She hasn't lived here in a while (and lived in a different house on the property at that) but I guess she hasn't updated her info. They sent a separate notice to my grandmother but I guess they were too cheap to use another envelope for my sister.
