I went to vote this morning in Olive Branch. When I got to the front of the line, the woman there asked my name. I spelled my last name for her, and she started looking for it. She showed me the voter registration info, pointed at a name, and asked if that was me. It was not. I told her that name was before mine alphabetically, and that I was likely on the next page. When she found my name, all I had to do was sign the form and vote. I probably could have voted several times, but I don't roll like that. Well, at least I did my civic duty (and got some free Starbucks coffee!)

In other news, people have complained this morning in Olive Branch about being turned away from the polls. The couple in front of me were two of the people turned away. They lived very near the voting location, but their voter registration cards had them voting at another nearby precinct (because they technically live outside of the city of Olive Branch.) I wonder how many of the people complaining actually went to the address on their voter registration cards.
