Shit like this is just ridiculous!!

There is ZERO excuse for a nationwide shoddy voting system like we have!

1. They need to be calling the Tarrant County Elections Office

Because that is BULLSHIT!!!

[Onward AND Upward]

19. EVERYONE Check This Link- Possible Solution

WE Can Become Boots On The Ground, esp in Red or Battleground States to combat this crap! If its safe to do so, you can become an instant billboard to inform people to call Election Protection at 1-866-OUR-VOTE. Some of these people are at some polling locations solving problems like the one in this thread, but they are probably not at every polling place. Let's protect our right to vote!!!

2. This is why EVERY state

needs to offer permanent vote by mail status with NO restrictions. Period.

14. But republican's don't want that.

They can’t win without cheating!

3. All Dems need to stay

[Garrett78]

18. Election Day should be a national holiday and every district should have early voting.

Peeps gotta work.

4. What is this Precinct??? I'm calling the elections office, however,

I need the precinct number.

8. Are you on Twitter?if so ask the Tweeter MJ Lee. If not, I'll do it.

[MagickMuffin]

15. No Twitter for me

Find out and I'll call the Elections office.

[bdamomma]

7. Dems need to make Oregon voting the national reform model.

Automatic registration at 18, all vote by mail. No lines, no Repub games, no malfunctioning machines, etc.

[renate]

13. absolutely!

It is THE BEST.

I'd love to hear the reason for not doing it everywhere. It's simple, efficient, nobody loses time off work, you can take your time with the voter's pamphlet and make an informed decision....

So, I just answered my own question, I guess. That's the reason. But I'd love to hear the excuses for not doing it everywhere.

9. I don't know, should be like... Criminal. Huge Democratic vote in the state of Texas.

[Ms. Toad]

10. We dont' have a nationwide voting system

shoddy or not.

I agree that it is ridiculous - but it is the state's responsibilty

[uponit7771]

11. I'd put money on its east or south Arlington too.

[Shell_Seas]

12. That's South Arlington, near Mansfield line.

[uponit7771]

20. Used to live there, very diverse with big dem voter block and no longer solid red of course

... they would disenfranchise that area

[roamer65]

16. I'd sit my butt right down and demand a ballot.

I wouldn't leave until I had one.

[Garrett78]

17. If unintentional, it's astounding incompetence.

Printers and machines apparently not tested ahead of time. Missing power cords. Missing keys. No back-up ballots.

2 fucking years to prepare and it's amateur hour.
