Very smart guy with the right policy priorities and someone who values intelligence (not blind loyalty).

But I am sad that this problem required me to use a "provisional ballot" that I have no confidence will get counted. The incompetence of the Oneida County Board of Elections is stunning. I've voted in every election since I was 18 (which was 18 years ago), in different parts of the country, and I've never had a problem until now. The difference? I think it's the Real ID Act. For the first time, I was required to "confirm my identity" to the Board of Elections, after I registered to vote earlier this year following our move to a new county.

My wife (who, unlike me, doesn't have a foreign sounding name) was not required to confirm her identity, even though we moved and registered to vote at the same time. I assumed that after I got my registration card, everything was fine, but clearly something happened along the way -- and I can't help but smell a rat. Could be pure incompetence, but this is a very republican area without very many minorities.

I am devastated that I couldn't go into the voting booth with my excited 3 year old daughter and have her watch me pull the lever for Obama, our first African-American president. I had to fill out a provisional ballot which will be counted only well after election day. WTF??!!??

The fate of so many people depends on the outcome of this election. Thanks to Obama's grandmother, he has the self-confidence, knowledge, and skill to win this election and take over the reigns of American power, and to wield that power in the most responsible manner.

God bless Madelyn.
