at the wrong voting location for your precinct. The judges have a list and can tell right away where you should go to vote.

We now have this absolutely wonderful thing called voting centers! All of our existing precinct voting locations are now called voting centers, and since we can generate a ballot based on your precinct # you can vote anywhere in the county! No more arriving at 5 til 7 only to find out you need to be across the county. It is so nice.

If the difference is due to an address change, we can fix that right there.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
