Jazmine Long. The Model Voter

But one Indianapolis voter told IndyStar it took her several hours — and a number of trips — to cast her ballot.

Jazmine Long, 34, said she moved from Hamilton County to Indianapolis in December, and updated the addresses on her photo ID and voter registration at a BMV branch in March.

Long said when she went to vote at her new north-side polling place at 8:30 a.m., workers were not able to scan her photo ID. She was not offered a provisional ballot and was told to return to the location where she last voted, she said.

But when Long arrived at her former polling place in Carmel, poll workers there told her to return to her new polling place on the north side of Indianapolis, she said. Long said she drove to and from the two locations six times before she was given a provisional ballot shortly before 1 p.m. at the north-side polling place.

4 hours and a few trips back-and-forth because, come hell or high water, she was gonna vote!
I admire people like her. I realize not everyone may have the ability of time (due to work, or other obligation) to do that
But, I do admire her for voting no matter the difficulties
To Ms Jazmine Long, a tip of the hat
