My daughter went to vote during lunch hour today. She was forced to cast a provisional ballot. Her only short coming, as far as I can tell, she is registered as a Democrat. She has not had any change in address while voting in previous elections over the past 10 years.
This would be a short diary, except for the announcement this week on NPR regarding mail in ballots in Arizona. "Due to the sensitivity of the optical readers, any mail in votes where the lines are connected by less than a single fine line, creating bleed through to the opposite page of a two page ballot, are being set aside for challenge." This warning did not appear before it was to late.

I'm so angry that, even a solid red state, our votes may not be counted. I wanted to say will not be counted, however, how can it be proved?
Our democracy becomes ever more fragile by the day. Is it a mere coincidence that at least two votes for a Democratic agenda have been set aside for review?
