Hooray, I managed to vote today! Provisionally, but, you know. Maybe it'll be counted.

The volunteer officials at the branch I went to today (for early voting, you can go anywhere in the county) were MUCH more helpful than the ones yesterday. They actually had a clue what they were doing, and were really nice through the whole thing.

Less thrilled with whatever computer system the county uses to register/deal with voters. Because apparently, despite the fact that it's supposed to require that every time you want to vote absentee, you have to write and request a ballot (which is what I originally thought), in reality the system sees you've voted absentee once, and decides that you don't ever want to vote again. Or if you do, it's definitely not in person. And it will continue to do so until you get a new registration card.

Apparently I'm the only student they've seen with this problem (which boggles me, but then again, it is still early voting), but it's been happening pretty frequently to people in the military who were overseas in 2004.

Augh.

Anyway, new registration card coming soon. Hopefully this kind of thing will not be repeated when I inevitably move out of state...
