Is your brother stubbornly independant or a closet Dem.
Our county clerk called us to ask if we our ballots were filled out by us.
My signature appeared different and my sons mark was different (he has severe Cerebral Palsy and was VERY excited about voting (uh hum another man whose heart was captured by Sarah).
Now if you know anything about a quadroplegic with Cerebral Paly you will understand why his mark changes (kinda like an elephant painting with his trunk:) )
But the upside was it showed that there is honesty in the clerks office.
If you'd ever met my brother for even ONE second, you'd understand why I laughed out loud at your post!! :o) He is as pigheaded as they come, and absolutely NOT a closet Democrat!!!! Oh my gosh, you never want to get him started on one of his rants about Dems. Not that you have to "get him started"--he's "All Rant, All the Time" when it comes to Democrats, especially during campaign seasons (and this has been a looooong one!). There's no shutting him up. No, he took himself to the polling place because no one could hop around and take him to vote on HIS schedule, so he had to prove to us all that he could do it on his own. Fair enough. He did it.
I'm so glad to hear that your son got to vote, even if his signature raised a red flag. And like you said, it's at least nice to know that your county clerk's office is on top of things. I totally understand about the changing signature. My brother's handwriting has become increasingly difficult to decipher over the years since he lost his sight. It's pretty much illegible now, but at least it got the job done at the polls!
Give that son of yours a hug from Total Stranger TXBlair in Texas next time you see him. He sounds like a great guy!! My best to you both!
