Some Kansas City polling place have wrong registration books
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/11/04/wrong-registration-books-in-kansas-city/

Kansas City, Mo. (CNN) — At least three polling locations in Kansas City's 5th Ward have the wrong registration books, said Board of Elections director Shelley McThomas. She said cover jackets indicating ward, precinct and sequence numbers were mixed up when the books were assembled at the Board of Elections.

Deputies deliver the books in pairs, and McThomas said elections officials think the problems are limited to 6 registration rolls for 3 polling locations within Ward 5.

McThomas said she's waiting to hear back from deputies in the field whether the problems have been resolved.

8. What?
You do realize there were new registrants up until October 18.
People were very cool about the delay and nobody left the line.

5. I would send all those idiots to prison for 20 years at least.
How could they do this? And they are paid to get this right.

Assholes.
