I usually partake in early voting so I don't have to deal with the crowds and can do it on my schedule but I decided to see what it was like to vote in the actual primary.

I headed to my precinct's station and there were about 300 Republicans standing there, flat out being told that there is no Caucus for Republicans dry.gif This, as you well know, is a lie. When I walked up to receive my ballot I was asked which side I was voting for, I replied Republican and got two of the nastiest looks I have ever seen, so much for objective volunteers.

Other things I noted, at times, they were asking "Are you Democrat or Republican?" which is the wrong question to ask. I don't know if this was underhanded or just a mistake.

Lastly, I listened to Obama's speech and have to wonder, what does he really believe. He claims that we need to get out of Iraq and need to focus on home but last night he stated, "we can change the world" blink.gif Well, not without taking part in it.

In primaries they are to ask you what side you are voting for, this is so they know cross-over ballots.

I heard people being asked "what party are you?", which is fine, except they were using that info to give out ballots. So even if a Republican wanted to vote Democrat they received a Democratic ballot and vice versa.

There are reports of this happening in other polling places.
