- A friend of mine showed up at the poles to vote in the Presidential election.
-
- After spending quite a while on line he was told that he couldn't vote because
- they had sent him an absentee ballot. He never requested an absentee ballot,
- and never got one. He wondered if maybe his family had registered him as an
- absentee, but was told that only he could do that.
-
- After much arguing he was still not allowed to vote.
-
- So, he was deprived of his constitutional right to vote. What does this mean?
- Does he have any recourse, other than writing to his congressman.
- Apparently there were a few other people at the poles with the same problem.
-
- Any ideas?
-
- Just curious.
