Tim Robbins got in an argument with a volunteer at a polling station in Manhattan when he tried to vote last week and was told he wasn't in the rolls. He took his grievance to the election board and the commissioner ruled that he went to the wrong station based on a change-of-address form he filed. Robbins said he filed no such form, and called the commissioner a liar. A Board of Elections inspector sided with Robbins, saying, "I've seen him vote at that polling place since 1998. His name has always been in the book until this month." And then they purged their rolls of all known douchebags and Robbins was shit out of luck.

It's amazing Obama won with as much crap as was going on. (It happened in the previous elections, too, mostly to democrats from what I remember--20,000 ballots denied in one urban area in the midwest, I think) This happened to a lot of people, they're just not all famous.
It happened to my husband before the primaries. We have lived at the same address for over 10 years, we both have our last precinct card, no changes in party affiliation, we both voted in previous elections, yet my husband was mysteriously not listed on the rolls, while I was. No explanation given by authorities. He was not allowed to vote in the primaries, but reregistered and did vote on Nov 4.
I think it's a crime, and a major overhaul of our system is needed.
