nor anyone else i was in line behind.
I had my voter registration card with me, several id's and a phone bill just in case. I handed them my reg card without being asked for it, and the gentleman working the laptop thanked me, said it made life much easier for him. Asked my address, then spoke to the person next to him, gave her a ballot number/color, and i thought i was moving on. Then the woman sitting by the older gentleman spoke up and said 'wait a minute.... haven't you voted already?? No She is staring at the laptop, and asks 'didn't you vote by absentee ballot?' again, No... questioned the absentee ballot thing again, and i replied i hadn't even asked for one.
She asked me to stand 'right there' and pointed over to the side, had to cross over the barrier rope to get where she pointed. Then she told the older guy to start the next person, she had to call for help. Called someone and told them the details. Brought back up my info on the laptop, and is reciting info over the phone to them. Then she mutters something to the older guy about 'did it print? check and see if it printed'...then told the person on the phone 'Forget this conversation ever happened.'
Told me to come back to the table, and proceeded to process my ballot. Made some comments about how she was 'not going to let this go, was going to get to the bottom of it' and that she had.
All the while through my mind i was planning on finding out who had gotten an absentee ballot in my name, and hunting them down, and extracting revenge....
couple of hairy minutes there. But i did get to vote. :)
