She went to the polling place that was on her registration acknowledgement letter. The letter didn't tell her the general polling place would be different from the primary polling place. There are some questions you need to know how to ask.
She has lived in Boston since August, so it's not like she's had years to figure this out. Things work very differently every else we've lived.
Shalom.
I think she has plenty of time to cast her vote but we all should check and double check to ensure we are being sent to the correct place.
Good luck to her.
*Please* encourage your daughter to go back and vote today! It is so important even in a blue state to add to popular vote totals. I feel bad about first time voters having so much trouble. You should be proud of her for her willingness to persevere. After all this trouble she must see it through.
That said, it is pretty common in some parts of the country to have a different location for primaries and general elections, because so many fewer people vote in primaries. They generally need more polling places for presidential years, especially in a year like this when so many people who usually don't vote feel so intensely motivated by their strong feelings for President Bush.
This is the most important election of our lives--it has the chance to set the tone of the country for the next 25 years. Please post later and let us know that your daughter managed to vote!
