Fought back against offer for provisional ballot for voter I drove this morning. Got a real ballot!
Officials said he was "flagged" as needing specific type of ID which he didn't have. They wanted us to take time/spend money to go downtown and get NC pic. I asked why, but they couldn't give good explanation. We refused provisional. Told them didn't trust it would be counted. Also said requirement for photo ID that costs was like a poll tax. Democratic lawyer on site heard discussion and stood up with me. Voter got a real ballot and voted straight Democratic!!

If felt soooooo goooooood!!!!

6. You did vote for President along with your straight Dem ticket, right?
Straight Dem ticket in NC doesn't include a Presidential vote. Have they made that point widely known?

9. Yes. Made sure he did. I'm walking new voters thru process. First person this am almost missed it!
I was one who didn't think it would really be missed by many, but when I saw it with my own eyes (voter thought voting "separate" meant she would be given a separate piece of paper") it scared the s**t out of me. Hopefully won't be too many, but we have to be vigilent here in NC.

On my way out for the next five voters on my list.

See ya'll tonight!!!
