My daughter and her friends voted in Tampa today. She stood in line for 2 1/2 hours. During that time one woman who wasn't registered to vote and was told to stay in line while they looked again and checked for her name , waited till they went back to table to check,Then she went and voted! they came back to tell her she would have to fill out a special ballot that would be verified she was gone, Tina said workers became frantic. Now if my daughter saw that while she was there, How many other times did that happen?
It sounds like a provisional ballot.
They are to be thrown away if the “voter” can’t be verified with records, later.
yep that is what they got her , but it was too late she voted and left, Tina said they need to move voting booths farther away. It was at library
I don’t know about Tampa or what county she was in but in Citrus county you don’t get a ballot until your ID is verified. Of course we use scanners here.

If Tina saw her she would have said something. SHe didnt know she went to vote
That’s a lame procedure. In Ohio, a pollworker has to activate the machine for each voter and the voter has to have an authorization slip from the folks signing them in before the pollworker will activate that machine.

yes they checked her id and she wasnt registered she had the reg ballot in her hand woman told her to stand there for a minute and didnt take the ballot she went to get her a provisional ballot and she took the one she had and voted, Just talked to tina
Hillsboro County
Don’t know how you do it were you voted but where I early voted the poll worker has to activate the machine and insert a cartridge into the voting machine to call up the correct precinct in which you are voting.
I wonder how many polls that woman went to today? and if she was paid to do what she did? lots of money flying around obama lots of people can be bought
But how did she get a ballot in her hand if they hadn’t yet confirmed her registration?
they used a paper ballot market the names
tina said it was poll workers mistake and she realised the woman wasnt registered didnt take it when she went to get provisional Tina also said that woman knew she wasnt registered or she wouldnt have voted and taken off so fast
I can see it now obama training acorn workers , telling them to go to polls with long lines and poll workers are more apt to make mistakes and u can sneak a vote in ! tina said there wasnt enough workers there. she would have volunteered to help out if she had known
Tina and her husband and friends all voted for mccain so there are 12 votes right there ! cancelled that one out big time. But its worrysome cause u dont know how many times that has happened
Okay....... so she had a ballot, voted and dropped it in the box then left... Yep sounds like she got away with one.
