Did Anyone Have Trouble At The Voting Pole Today?

Question

We just moved back to the city about 8 months ago so this was our first time voting at our precint.
First of all it was in a tiny club house about 20' x 30'. The line was pushed all the way to the entrance door.
Hubby and I got into the long line. I stood there just a second when I realized it was for the democratic primary. I stepped out of line to get into the Republican one. There was no one in that line so I was glad that I could get out easily.
The lady searching for my name was about 80 yrs old and could not hear me clearly. I had to repeat my name to her about 4 times. Finally an elderly man came over to help her and he couldn't hear either and kept saying my last name is Bryant. I corrected him about 5 times until he finally got it. I then had to help them look through the books to find my name. We did, thanks goodness.
They then gave me a card that read Republican and sent me to the line to go to a voting booth.

Cont.
(I will have to post more datails)

My husband was behind me and he had to help them also to find his name.
When my turn came up for a booth. I handed the lady my Republican card and she took me to a machine that was loaded with Democrats. I got her attention and told her that I was Republican. She apologized but did not know how to bring up the Republican candidates. She called another lady for help but she too did not know how to pull up the Republican screen. All the while in this little room they kept saying out loud, "she is Republican and we don't know how to pull up the screen. I just stood back and smiled waiting patiently. Four people came over and no one knew what to do. My husband and I just waited. Until finally 6 minutes later someone figured it out.

What an interesting morning.....pole workers that only know how to assist Democrats.

Answer 1

This is why we need standards for voting, such as simple reading and writing and a basic education to fully understand the issues.

Answer 2

Are you high? What election and what poll? There are no primaries right now. It's only August 2007 and there are very few official candidates (although more on the Democrap...er, crat side than on the Repukelican...er Republican.

Please, go back and get an education. This post frightens me.

EDIT:

WTF are the three thumbs down for? Oversensitive idiots.
