Yep, Bush is stonewalling again. My daughter - a Republican - received this from a friend in SF re the vote yesterday: Here's a chilling piece of news: I'm in San Francisco and my DH and I went to our polling place at 10:00 yesterday morning. They had no listing of our name, or our street. We were told to go to another voting area blocks away since the polling places "had been changed." We went to the second place and were told they had no listing of us or our street either, and to go back to the first place. We went back to the first place and were told we must have just moved in or something. Yeah. We moved in 13 years ago and have always voted in the same place. We were then told to go to a third place (it's 11:00 by now and we need to get to work). The third place is blocks from us, on a dead-end street, through a maze of three one-way streets. There are NO signs and the house is blocked from view. It took us 20 minutes to find it and we live in the neighborhood. We enter, cast our votes and are finally done by 11:40 a.m. I talked to my neighbor last night. She was also sent to the third place by the first place but the third place told her she didn't vote there. She tried to vote and couldn't. The polls were closed by the time she called me asking where I voted. Neither of us ever received any information as to our new polling location. Another friend just told me a similar story. She also lives in a highly populated urban neighborhood and the polling place had been changed with no information sent out. She was as tenacious as we were in tracking it down, and again, found it blocks away from her house in an unmarked location. At 5:30 yesterday afternoon, only 309 people had voted at that location. 309?????
