I was disenfranchised. I went to my polling place at 102nd and 2nd ave in NYC (I recently moved there). They did not have me on the roll. They said go to my old precinct (after I told them what "precinct" meant, when I said was this the right precinct, they said it was a school, not a precinct...). I went to my old precinct on 78th and York ave and they did not have me either. I was steamed. They said I had to go back uptown and fill out an affidavit ballot - but I had to come to work.

Oh well, my vote doesn't count in NYC anyway.

Oh, and my liberal girlfriend is angry because I did not call and remind her to vote before going to work. I said it was nothing personal, but I was not going to do any campaigning for Hillary and that if she wanted to vote for her, she needed to remember on her own.

As a business owner, I would suggest that you ask your employer for time off to VOTE. I would pay an employee who had this problem to go and get is sorted out, no matter who they were voting for.

You are disenfranchising yourself.

Even in NY, your vote does count.

Good for you! I would advise that you get to the polls to vote ASAP. It DOES count. I promise they will have you on the right list next election. Sometimes it takes awhile.

The last time I "voted" in Manhattan was at the 78th & York precinct. They looked thru that huge, sloppy, handwritten roll book and discovered - shock - that my card had been lost. I filled out a paper ballot, knowing that this would probably be lost as well. As I walked out, I saw trampeled paper ballots on the floor...
