Curious as to what may have happened, how it went down, etc.

1. Not in Ohio, but I recommend if anyone gets challenged....
..they should immediately demand ID and credintials from the person and WRITE DOWN THEIR NAME AND ADDRESS from their ID and be sure to speak VERY LOUDLY (but calmly) to the person to let everyone in line know what is going on.

2. Yeah
My polling place is a church in Tulsa. The pastor of the church was there early this morning, splendid in a powder blue sports jacket and red, white, and blue tie. He said to me, "Welcome to the church. Thanks for voting." I kneed him in the groin then grabbed him by the back of his sports jacket and threw him out the doors onto the sidewalk.

Okay, so I might have overreacted, but I'm nervous and not going to get any work done today.
