My nightmare voting experience
So this morning on my way to work I try to stop into the polls at 8:30 where I found a line wrapped around the building about 1/2 mile long. I found myself getting back in the car and continuing on to work.
Later at 1:30ish I go back, walk right in, no wait. Older gentleman (late 60's early 70's) asks me for my last name. "Hudson" I replied, "First name" he asks? "Corinne" I reply. Opens a page, as he was slowly reading down the list, I point there I am. Holding my voter registration card ready for when he asks. "Sign here" he says. I sign my name and he hands me a card. The next lady I approach asks me for the card the other man just gave me. I hand it to her, she hands me a ballot. So I walk to my booth just thinking nobody has verified my ID and I am voting how odd.
After I am done voting I take my ballot and folder to the machine. Another old gentleman informs me to slide my ballot in slowly. Enough time for anyone to read my ballot. I slide it in and he said that's it. I ask him, "how do you know that I just submitted my ballot, since nobody has looked at my photo ID?" He brings over a younger woman (20's I think) who is in charge of that polling location. I inform her that nobody has verified who I am since I have walked in the door and I just voted.
She immediately points over to the table where the ID check was supposed to be performed and asks me who I saw. I pointed and immediately she has him come over and blames him. I realize that he is just a nice old man volunteering and he gets upset saying he did check my ID. I informed him "no sir you did not, you asked my last name, I pointed to my name and address and you had me sign a piece of paper" I still have my voter reg card in hand which I pulled out when I walked in, you didn't even check that." I then pull the women in charge, explaining I am not trying to be difficult, but I wanted to make sure that everyone is checked and someone needs to supervise those guys and make sure they do so.
Err...Now I know that Florida really does have an issue with voting.
