2008 California Presidential Primary

There were numerous reports of voting problems during the recent Presidential Primary here in California!

While I was at my voting place, I personally experienced three voters who experienced problems due to how they were registered.

So, my questions are:
(1) Did you personally experience any voting problems?
(2) Prior to going to your voting place, were you aware that California's primary is NOT open and party voting is based on how you are registered?

I did not experience any problems. Just like you I witnessed at least three poeple who were not able to vote. It was about 4:30 pm. Those who were in charge at the poles did not have any information to correct their problems. Nor did they have any instructions of how to correct the problem. Both voters were black and one of th eissues was the fact that a voter moved during the year so their address moved them from the place where they were used to come and vote. There are a lot of things that could stop someone from voting. The best answer to not having a problem at the pole is to call in and find out where you are suppose to go vote if you have moved, changed your name or anything that could change something about your life.
