My WTF moment at the Voting precinct

[MagickMuffin]

I had to share my experience when I went to vote.

Back Story:

First, let me explain that I have lived in the same house for 25 years. I have always voted at our rec. center, until the city renovated it and we were moved from one location to another. We have voted at a police sub-station, as well as a church. This renovation has taken several years to complete, and was finally finished this year. :bounce:

Yesterday:

Before I went to vote I looked at our city's website to find out where I would be voting this year. Couldn't find anything there, so I called my library. They did a search and informed me I would be voting at the Rec. Ctr. :woohoo: :woohoo: , I loved voting @ the REC, hated voting at the other two locations.

We get to the polls and I show my ID, and even before the Ms.Dumb Ass :grr: had a chance to look for my name, exclaimed I was not on the roll :wtf:, and that Ms. Kim would be able to help me find my precinct. Ms. Kim was an Asian woman who was sitting behind this strange wooden box (4X4X4) that had a computer inside (?), I couldn't see exactly what was in there as the opening was not facing me. :grr: :nuke:

While Ms. Kim was searching, I continued to have a dialog with the Ms. Dumb Ass who told me I was not on the rolls. I told her I had been voting at that precinct for years until they renovated, that I called the library and they told me to go to the Rec. Ctr. She was still claiming that I was not on there. She didn't even look! :grr:

Ms. Kim informed me and my partner that we were at the right precinct. I immediately informed Ms.Dumb Ass that I was at the right precinct. She looked bewildered, and she was having a hard time even looking in the right letter in the book, (M) is where she needed to look under. And what do you know there we were like always. :banghead:

What really made me question why someone like Ms. Dumb Ass would not even really attempt to look for my name, made me realize how other people must feel to be disenfranchised. I am a white middle aged woman, who just so happened to be wearing my hand painted blue jeans, so my only conclusion to this whole story is she looked at me and decided I was a liberal and therefore she didn't even bother looking for my name because I might be voting for those props that was against. :shrug: She would have been right.
