she got her vote counted, and here's the results, if you're having problems, call the number below:

"okay so i called the board of elections

and they verified that my district is 89

and they said that because i didn't sign the book in the wrong district that i could still vote

so i went back and told the guy in charge and he said ok, get in line. basically they will count the machine vote first, then the provisional (wrong) ballot will be thrown out

and that i shouldn't worry when i get a letter in the mail about the prov. ballot being void

if anyone wants to call me and ask for advice or whatever. really they should just call the board of elections. the # is 866.868.3692. you have to be on hold but is def. worth it

Got this from a friend of mine in brooklyn:

"in new york you vote in one polling place with many districts. crazy! they put me in the line for the wrong district, had me cast a provisional ballot, and by the time i looked at my voter reg. card and figured it out, they said too bad you signed an affidavit on the envelope and we can't get the vote back. even though it will be... thrown out because i voted in the wrong district."
