About a week ago I received a letter from the San Francisco Department of Elections telling me my provisional ballot for the November 4th election had been rejected (”Unfortunately, you were not listed on the active voter rolls”). Merry Christmas! Included was a helpful form to return to register to vote – familiar in that it basically the same form I already mailed to them back before the election. Today, I got a second card from them, confirming my registration, effective November 6th. So, yeah. Scratch all that happiness and pride about being engaged in the civic process. Scratch the bit about playing a small part in the most important and historic election in a generation. And scratch my vote against Prop 8. This just sucks. I can’t say much more than that. And now I gotta vote twice next time to make up for it, and that ain’t gonna end well either.
