This caller used an electronic voting machine, and after selecting a democratic candidate, noticed that the republican light actually lit up. He had to select the democratic candidate again to cancel it out, and then select it again to make the correct selection. He had to do this for almost all of the people he voted for. Worried that others won't realize the problem. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THAT HE CALLED (but I forgot to get the first case #, so I'm not sure what the first issue was)

(1) Bernanillo County had no record of absentee ballot application that was sent a month ago; since voter was working out of town, county clerk advised voter to get a provisional ballot at closest county to where she was working; (2) voter went to the Anthony Community Center in Southern Dona County on Sat. at approx. 2 pm to vote early; Anthony is a very small town and she clearly was an outsider; the voter noticed a person taking photos right outside the door of the polling site; inside, there were only two poll workers, both of whom wore "I am a Republican Voting Specialist" stickers; they refused to give voter a provisional ballot because the voter was a Bernanillo county resident and that county had different ballots; the voter explained that she really wanted to vote in just the presidential election but the poll workers still refused to give her a provisional ballot; the poll workers apparently confirmed this decision with the County Clerk of Anthony.
