People who live in the area off Parkcenter Blvd along the Boise River are really affected by the change in polling places. They used to vote at an assisted living home off Parkcenter Blvd, but now they will have to drive out of their district and vote at the Ada County Indigent Services Office next to the county courthouse on Front Street.

Ms. Kuraitis says the problem is not the change in location - per se - but the short notice of the change, and the fact that the information in the letter is outdated. She, and her neighbors, received the letter in the mail from Ada County Elections on November 3, the Thursday before the election.

One of their concerns is that the letter is dated October 14. Residents say some people even threw the mailer away because it appeared to be junk: it was addressed to them, or "current resident", and had a Non Profit Organization US Postage stamp.

"We can do better than this," the senator said. "I think it's a real hardship for our elderly voters because they'll have to drive downtown and find a place to park."

I have family in "the third world" and they're laughing at us.

2. I'm really tired of making the right to vote a moving target.

We do need to do better than this.
