Name withheld because he’s afraid of the Obama radicals.

AWB,
A coworker and I voted early at the courthouse. She just got back from taking her daughter to vote and it appeared that there was nothing by her name to indicate that she had voted.
My wife will be voting in the next hour and will be checking my name closely to see if there is anything stating that I have voted. It’s my understanding that once you get past the bookkeepers with your ID then your vote goes in anonymously, forever mixed in with all the others. I’m half wondering if there is nothing by my name if I should try to get past them, not to vote twice but to see if this is possible.
If this is the case then the 12% who already voted in this county could vote again.
If you’d like I’ll keep you updated.
I advised he call the Allen County Election Board.

AWB,
After waiting in line for 90 minutes my wife let me know that my signature line in the voting book was unsigned and there was nothing to indicate that I have already voted.
I called the Election Board and was told that a list of all pre-voters went out and that the workers are supposed to mark them in the books but might not if they were “very busy.” So, I was told, “if you want to be dishonest” I could go down and vote again but my pre-vote would be thrown out. How they would know which one was my vote is beyond me.
Sounds like things are ripe for voter fraud.
Interesting.

I hadn’t thought about this before, but I might have been able to trick the system.
After the worker checked my ID, found my name, and turned the book around for me to sign it, I’d be willing to bet that she wasn’t paying much attention to which line I signed. I probably could have signed someone else’s line, voted, and then come back later when a different shift was working and voted again.
Maybe. When I was signing I wasn’t really watching them to see if they were watching *me*. I’d bet I could have pulled that off as often as not.
I didn’t even think to sign “Raced White Male” instead of my real name.
Dan – that is normal. Early votes are not recorded until they are received in the precincts and logged by the Precinct Board. If a voter “beats out” their absentee/early vote then their absentee vote will be discarded as “already voted”. State Election Law.
By the Way, seems a large handful of people were disenfranchised in Marion County because the Clerk’s staff gave absentee/early voters the wrong ballot and by law these cannot be accepted at the precinct. All that could be done is write “Wrong Precinct” on the envelope and send it back to the Election Board.
