"If I Did It"

MY Right to Vote!

I was almost disenfranchised today. When I made it to my polling place at about 11:00 am I go to the table for District 81. The same group of old ladies are sitting around the table--why it takes seven old ladies to man one ballot box I don't know. I go to the old lady that guards the sign in book and I tell her my name. When I spell it for her she gasps, "oh no, here he is. He is the one." She looks up at me and says "We might have a problem, somebody already signed in your spot." "FRAUD, FRAUD" I yell (to myself). What do you mean somebody already signed in my spot? Sure enough, she opens to the page with my name on it and in the box with my name and my signature from my registration card is somebody else's signature. How someone signed his name in MY box I will never know since his file signature was in its OWN box right under my name. So the women had to figure out what to do--do I sign under the box, do I sign in the box under his name, do I squeeze it in between our names, do I sign it ABOVE by name in the box--the answer to that one is no because as Agnes stated from the far end of the table "He has to sign under his signature, it says he has to sign under his signature." Finally, I signed under both our signatures, right under the box with MY signature in it. I forgot to put my middle initial, and felt my stomach drop, but nobody noticed. I can't believe "Marie's husband" signed in my box and almost took away my right to vote.
