Minor Voting Error Report in Ohio

Yes it happened to me. It was not really that big of a deal other than a Democrat ballot had to be wasted. Here’s how the story went.

Poll worker: Democrat or Republican
Voter: Republican

Poll worker hands the access card to the voter, voter loads it into the electronic voting machine, it’s a Democrat ballot.

True story.

The poll workers gave me another access card for a Republican ballot BUT the original ballot had to be spoiled. I wonder, if I had voted on the Democrat Ballot, would it have counted?

Here in Ohio we have to sign for a ballot. If I signed for a Republican Ballot and voted on a Democrat ballot, would that have spoiled 2 and my vote wouldn’t have counted? I actually thought after I was done voting, I could have messed with the Dems. I know others are advocating crossing over but I don’t do that. I’ve mentioned possibly doing that because it is possible. But I wouldn’t actually do it.

I voted Republican because that is my registered party. I voted symbolically to send John McCain a message that we want more Conservatism not less. I voted for my original candidate Fred Thompson because he appeared on the ballot. My alternate vote went to Mitt Romney because like Fred, he is still on the ballot.

I may be forced to vote for McCain in November, but here in March I can vote to send messages. So I did. So should you.

Will Weather Be a FACTOR?
