Do you not have a voter registration/identification card?

With Democrat criminal manipulation of elections now so commonplace, we are going to have to spend some time and money to stomp them down legally in every election.

Have you called your local TV station?

I don’t know the laws of NJ, but you should be able to fill out a provisional ballot and when you clear up the registration problem,your vote should count

File a provisional ballot.

The right of association is guaranteed by the constitution. Republicans just like Elks, Democrats or Future Farmers of America have a constitutional right to define who they associate with. Follow the rules and associate, or not.

Hire an attorney and sue the democrats for millions.

After receiving your money, move the hell out of the People’s Republic of New Jersey and buy a beautiful home in Texas or Montana.

Happened here in California during the 2008 primaries. They have to let you file a provisional ballot and then prove that your registration was properly changed ( ie they have to have the sworn affadavit that is supposed to reside at the county clerk’s)

They probably "corrected" everybody's affiliation.

After all, how could anyone still be Republican now that the Anointed One has taken his throne.

That NJ flag on yer home page is different ....:o)

Take this issue to the local state and fed election officals. I like to think it is just a mistake but recent events suggest otherwise.

Only three things come to mind.

Obama’s ACORN, Obama’s ACORN and Obama’s ACRON.

The Dems and Acorn are running ahead of schedule, thanks to the billions of stimulus dollars they got from Bambi.

Usually they don't register you as a dem, and vote for you until you die. They decided that as a pubbie, you are irrelevant, so they are voting for you now.

Your vote belongs to ACORN. It has been assimilated.

Not today. But 20 years ago, I went to vote in a Democrat[ic] primary in California only to discover that I had been reregistered as an Independent! Rather unsettling to know that one's voice can be silenced by unseen forces.

I'm glad we don't declare party registration in Georgia.

But that also brings other problems, the dims can torpedo a good Republican by crossing over when they have an incumbent or clear front-runner.

Holy crap. I did not have any problems at all. I signed the registry, the woman said “And you’re Republican, correct?” I said yes, and then voted. Creeepy.

This is another difference I encountered moving from Texas to New York: Having to declare my party to register to vote. What is up with this? In Texas, you voted in the primary you wanted to vote in the day of the primary. Your voter registration card was stamped “voted in xxx primary, xx/xx/xx.”

This is crap that you were denied the right to vote in the primary. Are the polls still open? Do primaries run until 9pm like regular elections? Please go back and demand to vote!

Thank you all who took time to comment.

After talking with the Camden County Superintendent of Elections I went back to the polling location to fill out a provisional ballot. The folks at the polling location were surprised to see me. I will need to call the Superintendent a few days from now to find out if my vote will count and if not, why not. She assured me that it would, but at this point, who knows?!

Thanks for the information. You rescued my vote!

To: All

When I went back to the polling place, the clerks were gathered around listening to one of their ranks tell a story to an election official, who had stopped in to check on things. The clerk was recalling an earlier incident where a voter had insisted he was listed incorrectly as a democrat. He handled the problem and told the voter that the record was correct.

I spoke up and announced that I had returned to file a provisional ballot per the instructions of the County Superintendent.

Seeking some sort of explanation, the election official asked me if I had voted for obama in the presidential election.

I told her no, I voted in the republican primary and did not vote for obama in the presidential election. I have a stack of post mail from the RNC to show for it. Besides, the County Superintendent confirmed my signature on the official record, not the little spreadsheets they all carried.

She apologized for the inconvenience and asked the clerk if he had offered me a provisional ballot. The clerk just shook off the question and went to fetch a dayglow orange bag that carried provisional ballots. The bag was locked with plastic zip tie that the clerk was struggling to open. He asked me if I had a knife to open the bag. I didn’t reply. Then he asked me if I had a gun. I said no.

They set up a table for me to fill out the ballot and a makeshift cardboard ballot booth to shield my vote from prying eyes. When I was done the clerk then walked me through the process and sent me off with a slip of paper advising me to follow up in 10 days.

When I left, they all congratulated me on my persistence.
