A Victim of Clerical Error

Today was a voting day across Florida. Primary stuff: school board, judges, tax collector, county clerk... All that kind of stuff. Our polling place is my old elementary school, so I took grandma with me this afternoon so we could vote.

Well, we ran into a bit of a problem. Through some unknown and possibly untraceable clerical error, my name wasn't in the book. The county has me down as having moved, so I'm no longer registered here. I bet either I've been mixed up with someone else, or some dumb clerk hit the wrong button on their computer. Even when I was going to university in another county (which was a couple of years ago by now), I was still registered here. So I just had to sit around while grandma went ahead and voted.

In the end, they gave me a new registration form that I'll have to fill out and run by the county office PDQ so I'm all squared away for November.
