I voted…and then complained

Posted by Mary Mancini on August 3, 2006 under Uncategorized |

“Do the machines print out a receipt that I can verify and then deposit in a locked box?” I asked the Election Officer.

“No,” she replied. “But there’s a group in town that’s fighting for that kind of thing.”

“Is there a suggestion box or complaint form I can fill out, you know, to bring this to the Election Commission’s attention?” I asked.

“Yes!” she said excitedly, “There’s a complaint form.”

“Thank you for this,” I said.

“Don’t thank me,” she chided, “It’s your right.”

I filled out the one page form and requested a voter-verifiable paper receipt by the November election. It took 5 minutes. You should fill one out too.

Don’t you just love Democracy in action? Now go vote.
