(8,103 posts)for the Midterms, I set out to take my mail-in ballot to the poll place to turn it in, which is permitted. Imagine my surprise to discover that the poll place printed on my informational papers was shut down! Oh, they were open, but my name was attached to another poll. But, since I was a mail-in ballot, they took it anyway.
So, that's never happened. What if I hadn't been simply trying to turn in a ballot? What if I were magnified by 1,000+ voters who suddenly lost their poll place, and didn't know where their name appeared? Seriously, how can you check that? I am in the country and can drive around relatively easily, but what if you were in a city? What if you had to be at work, and not driving around all day?
I wouldn't have thought anything about such a mistake in years past, but this is what happened at Midterms, which gave us the House.
