Hillary Clinton lost 2 votes tonight in So Cal because of ballot screw ups |
|
My elderly parents went to their local polling place. Life long registered democrats. They were handed republican ballots. My mom pointed it out and the poll workers acknowledged that there was some screw up. Mom asked them to look up their party affiliations on their official roles. They both were listed as democrats.
So understand. They are registered democrats, their sample ballots were for the democratic primary. They show up to vote and are given repub ballots. They felt too intimidated to make a fuss but they are at home now and they're good and pissed.
This is not about candidates. It's about having your goddam votes count. My parents are immigrants and maybe because of that they really CHERISH this process.
