"Clerical Errors" at the Polls

A friend and I went to vote today in Fulton County. We both voted in our county in the last primary and she voted just a few months ago for the senate race. Well, when she got 40 minutes through the line they told her she was not registered in Fulton county and was registered in another county. They gave her the voter's registration number for that county and everything. She explained that she had just voted in Fulton county in August and she voted during the last presidential race in Fulton county. She has lived in Fulton County for the past five years. She had to go out to the car and get her voter's registration card to prove that she was registered in Fulton County.

If she did not have that card she would have been screwed. Now, if it was election day, could you imagine standing in line for an hour or two, only to have someone tell you that you're not registered in that county and you need to get in traffic and stand in line again in another county? They tried to dismiss it as a clerical error (that somehow occurred between August 2008 and today- ???), but with everything riding on this election, make sure you bring your voter registration card with you to the polls! If you can't find your card, call your local voter registration office and confirm that you are registered in the correct county. We don't want any "clerical errors" causing people to be unable to vote on election day.
