We went to vote today. We're going to be in Vancouver (getting hitched!) on Election Day, so we took advantage of the early voting option.
They wouldn't let Cole vote.
They insisted that it was "impossible" that she voted in the last election, unless there had been a "whole series of mistakes." Well, seeing as she voted in the last election, I guess there was a whole series of mistakes.
So now, it will take her some time to straighten it out. If this had happened on Election Day, it's anybody's guess whether she'd have had time to straighten it out and get her vote counted.
So be on the safe side and make sure you're counted. If you have the chance, vote early.
Oh, enjoy getting hitched! Enjoy Vancouver! I'll send happy thoughts Northward to you.
And, whew! on the voting thing. That is scary.

Congratulations on getting hitched!
I already voted meself, via absentee ballot, and am glad to see I am not the only one.

Good advice. I went to the polls on Wednesday (we have early voting here) and saw three people turned away in the 30 minutes or so I was there, all of whom thought they were properly registered, and 2/3 of whom were people of color. It may have all been legitimate, but it certainly didn't look that way.
