Voting issue

Pray for my sister-in-law to get things straight. She showed up to vote in Amherst County only to find out that a registrar in Arlington made an error entering another person's registration and inadvertently canceled hers. They will not let her vote. It was their admitted error, but they will not correct it by re-registering her because their silly deadline is passed. They did offer her a provisional ballot, but she wants to vote now and have her vote counted now. We are working the phones trying to get her some resolution.

UPDATE- After many phone calls and much persistence, the Amherst Country registrar overrode the system and re-registered her effective today. She is heading back over now to vote. Woo Hoo!

Yaah! That was my FIL! I'm glad your sister got to vote -- even if Amherst County went to Obama. :-(
