Let the games begin!

My mother was not allowed to vote today because someone had already submitted an absentee ballot in her name.

I wonder who they could have voted for !!??!!

She is at the polling place now trying to get it straightened out so she can actually user her own vote.

The sad thing is, my father is in the hospital now, and will not be able to vote. (Hey, some things you can't plan around).

I wonder if someone has submitted an absentee ballot in HIS name as well?

At least Wendy and I got our votes in today. We went just after 10:00am, when we thought most people would have been at work. There were a decent number of people there, but the poll workers were efficient and polite. They moved people through with a military precision. Kudos to the pollworkers in precinct 62R, Broward County, Florida!

UPDATE (1233hrs): I spoke with Mom again. The poll workers told her that not only did someone request an absentee ballot under her name, they even turned it in. They are making her contest the vote, gave her some paperwork. Mom is completely disenchanted. I'm going to see what we can do about this.
