I have had a similar instance, where I was told I couldn't vote at my polling place because my address for voter registration was different from the address on my driver's license.

I made the poll worker call the board of elections in front of me. They told her in no uncertain terms that I am allowed to vote.

This was not a pleasant exchange, this was a confrontation. She knew exactly what she was doing but just expected me to leave.

I had a very distinct feeling that I wasn't the only person she did this with. I also think that in a college town, this woman could have used that ruse successfully on many many students.

Especially fucked up when they can see your party affiliation when you're checking in.

No matter how you voted today good for you for making that effort. Some people don't even get themselves registered in time or simply don't vote cuz I think it doesn't matter

I had someone ask to see my ID, I refused. It was bizarre and I didn't realize I could have reported it.
