So did my son! He was told by the board of elections in Freehold last week, that if his voter registration card hadn't arrived by Friday, last, to come in to Freehold, which he did. He relates his story here:
When he arrived, there were Sheriffs officers, checking to see if anyone arriving had outstanding warrants. Voter suppression, anyone? Armed with his drivers license, birth certificate, other photo ID, a copy of his application to "change" his voting address, in order to vote in NJ. (My son had been living in Maryland for the past 5 years). Copy of his old voter cards, from NJ and Maryland, a lawyer approached him to challenge his validity by asking several questions, (he claimed to be from the attorney general's office). Another lawyer stepped out into the hallway, asked my son, did he have anyone representing him, which he said, no. This lawyer was from the ACLU! He asked my son one question, what was your last NJ address before you relocated? He answered that he lived with me! A quick computer check verified all, I'm stating here. He was issued a paper by the judge presiding over cases like this one and was told to take it to his voting district and he would be allowed to vote. But this isn't the end. When he arrived back in Neptune, they tried to give him a provisional ballot, again! They tried to take his paper, given to him by the judge, to which he said, "I'll let you see the paper, but I'm not giving it, to you! Some shilly-shallying went back and forth. The moment my son started dialing up Freehold, they allowed him to vote, as you and I did. A nightmare? It could have been. A vote could have been lost, but I taught my son that perseverence pays off! His name wasn't on the voting rolls, although he had changed his address, months before the election. Remember, Freehold is run by Republicans and they had probably "deep-sixed" his change of address! He is and was, a registered Democrat. Had been, since he turned 18, when he also registered for the draft in 1980, when there was none, but by law had to register. When I hear that Obama never served his country, I retort that he didn't have to, since there wasn't a draft, was a 1979 graduate in Hawaii, was at Columbia then Harvard, then he served the Chicago community as an "organizer". Look at the "machine" the "organizer" put together to win this election. He impaled Palin and slaughtered McSame! Maybe we can route the Famous Four in Asbury Park, come May!
