Looks like we're in the papers again:
With time running out, Johnson County Auditor Tom Slockett sent letters to 400 voters, telling them their applications were rejected because information they provided could not be verified. He said one way to fix the problem is to register in person, which does not require the same verification according to federal election law.
"These people are very frustrated because they had done what they were required by law to do," Slockett said. "Students feel this is an intentional effort to make it difficult for them to vote. The elderly, some who are handicapped, are angered because they're unable to leave the house. We feel very bad about it."
All this is thanks to HAVE, The Law To Fix All The Florida Problems. So we get a cure that's worse than the disease. And we're just stuck having to follow this law.
Folks, you need to know about this. It's awkward, it's incomvenient, but if you're registering for the first time, wherever you are, the best thing to do is do it in person.
