Forgive if a duplicate - Neil Boortz not able to vote today
Since we lost Air America here in Atlanta, radio listening is slim pickins. Anyway, while on the way to the polls to vote today, I tuned into Neil Boortz only to hear him lament that he was unable to vote today. Seems someone changed his registration to the radio station's address. Hate to hear anyone being disenfranchised, but if it had to happen to someone it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. He was finally told by someone in the Secretary of State's office that he could vote a provisional ballot at his home precint - good luck with that Neil, since numerous others in this state have reported their precincts have NO provisional ballots to hand out.

1. I agree. I don't want anyone disenfrancaised, but if it is going to happen,
let him be one of them. The Dems are going to straighten out the nightmares caused by the * admin.

2. The Conspiracy is very clever indeed
Taking out a token Libertarian to avoid the perception that only Democrats are being disenfranchised.

3. Both of my adult sons have moved, recently, so I walked them...
...through the ID requirements and requesting a provisional ballot. I'll be damned before anyone in this family gets disenfranchised. One son has reported back to me that everything went smoothly. I'm glad but I'm still pissed because minority turnout will probably be suppressed by the ID requirements.

6. He made up the entire story- I would bet my soul on it.
He is trying to pre-empt claims of GOP mischief with examples adverse to the GOP...
