Whole apartment buildings were missing from the roster at my polling location, so many ppl complained about being registered and not listed

This should have people running to the polls in November.

Note: And this is far from the only complaint that's out there. Now what does this remind me off..... Oh, that's right NY that was missing whole blocks of voters in Brooklyn.

9. And you won't be able to post crap like this, either.

[brooklynite]

13. ...and I won't.

I respect the rules, and I wouldn't be posting it now if the Sanders folks weren't continuing with gusto...

[leftinportland]

11. and you'll be able to what about this type of voter suppression in November?

...people were missing from the voter roles but I said nothing because it favored my candidate...then the next election happened and I was not on the voter role...see how it works. I heard this morning that the Carter Center could not monitor our elections, as they do in emerging democracy worldwide because our system does not meet their minimum qualifications because we suck at the fair election process.

3. They were probably in a different precinct.

The nearest polling place is not necessarily your polling place. Precinct boundaries establish that. Give me the address, and I'll look it up.

10. Sometimes those pesky precinct boundaries are drawn down the middle of the street

[MineralMan]

16. They often are.

The goal is always to have the same number of people in each precinct. Apartment buildings often are part of the boundary decisions. It's not uncommon for a polling place across the street not to be in the precinct of a large apartment building. There are some such situations in most large cities. Precinct chairs and others should be informing people of their voting locations. I certainly do that where I am.

5. Well of course! She 'won'..... didn't she?

6. You always need to check your polling place, every election.

For years we voted at the IBEW auditorium in Chicago (about 5 blocks from my house), but as the neighborhood grew, a few years ago they switched our precinct to vote in the lobby of a nearby apartment building (1 block away). I had checked my registration and polling information online (plus got a postcard about it), so knew about it. But I bet there were people here that year that went to the "regular" place.

I don't think a Twitter post is much proof of anything.

14. The Republicans in CA have really screwed things up

Their decision to elect one of their kind to rule the state in 2003 will continue to cause problems for decades.

15. I love these official twitter reports. nt

17. Were they Bernie or Hillary apartment buildings?

[MineralMan]

18. Because they were in a different precinct.

Simple. Provide an address, and anyone can look up the polling place. Non story here.
