This diary is going to be short and sweet no time to have it look pretty.
In Oregon we have mail in voting.. 3 days ago my girlfriend got a letter in the mail stating her signature didn't match and that she would need to fill out a new form and have it mailed in by the 14th of November.. Alright we thought isolated incident no problem.. Well she went to work (She is a section 42 compliance manager for a non profit that specializes in affordable housing for low income tenants) And over the past few days she's been getting questions about voting problems. One tenant an African American female received a card in the mail stating that she was registered to vote in another state and that she couldn't vote unless she brought in identification.. She gets 400 dollars in assistance for her and her 2 sons A MONTH and an ID card is NOT on the top of her priorities.
Now she isn't the only one so far at least four other people have come up to her today alone telling her that they were sent cards saying that the signature on their ballot envelope didn't match their registration cards or that they were registered somewhere else. We've given them the Obama number to call.. Just giving a heads up to everyone else that even in safe Blue Oregon we are having problems..
Stay Fired Up!
