Absentee voting for the primary begins today

[progressoid]

3. It went smoothly for me.

But I have a current drivers license and the person I dealt with in the courthouse was properly trained. I imagine there will be a lot of people who won't vote or get turned away because of the bureaucracy.

I also heard about some behind the scenes grumbling from officials having to deal with this new voter ID crap. It's going to be tough in the upcoming elections making sure all the "i's" are dotted and "t's" crossed to make sure each vote counts. If Pate can't even get the right facts, imagine what it's going to be like with volunteers dealing with this as we try to GOTV.

Voting shouldn't be this hard.
