A former GOP official had an *interesting* voting experience this
morning:
When the NRCC alumnus arrived to vote at his polling place
in Alexandria this morning, his attempt to cast a ballot was rebuffed by
election officials: "I got inside, they set me up, I gave the woman my ID,
and I told her my address. She said, 'it seems you've voted absentee.'
Then she realized she'd read the sheet wrong. 'No, it says here that
you've already voted,' she told me. I hadn't even applied for an absentee
ballot, nor did I vote early. As hokey as it sounds, I was excited to vote in
person. I had absolutely not voted earlier that day. I arrived four minutes
after they opened. Basically, I was told I'd already voted, but I
hadn't."
It certainly
appears someone used his identity to commit vote fraud and cast a ballot in his
name.
But surely
not. Election fraud is not a
problem, remember?

UPDATE:
The gentleman is
not alone. Others have had the
same experience.
Now click your
heels and say three times, “Election fraud is not a problem. Election fraud is . . . “
Put me in that category. I went to vote and the poll workers had me down as voting earlier. I said you must have me confused with my husband who voted earlier. They made a mistake. Put his info on my line so it looked like I had voted. They caught it and changed it and I was allowed to vote. Whew!
