Poll Watching

I spend two hours this evening poll watching. I sat at a polling place and checked off voters from a list I had of voters the Black Hawk County Democratic Party was targeting in its Get Out the Vote campaign. I didn't work until 7:00 tonight, so it wasn't very busy. Also, I didn't witness any voting irregularities. No one was kept from voting who should have been allowed to vote. There was one woman who had recently moved to Black Hawk County from Bremer County and had not changed her voter registration. Because she was not registered in Black Hawk County, she was not able to vote. One voter came in about 30 seconds before the polls closed she was the final, and 675th voter at the precinct today.
