Mrs. Pepper: Vote for my son
Janelle Gelfand reports from Wyoming:
When Janelle went to vote this morning at 8:30 a.m. at Wyoming's Hilltop school, she found David Pepper's mom Francie campaigning in her rain bonnet.
She said, "Please vote for David Pepper! I’m his mom… "

Well, I *tried* to vote for Mrs. Pepper's son today (and the Civic Center in Wyoming) but was given a provisional ballot instead.
I was told that my name was highlighted in yellow because some sort of card that was mailed to my home address was sent back to the Hamilton County Board of Elections. I have lived in my home in Wyoming for almost three years.
What's most interesting, is my husband, who is out of town today, was able to vote with an absentee ballot. His card was *not* returned in the mail. Why was mine returned and his not?
More questions:
What were/are these "cards" that were mailed out? Did every county in Ohio do this or just Hamilton County? I spoke with the woman at the Hamilton County Board of Elections and she basically said that because the postal service did not deliver my "card," I had to vote "provisionally!"
Will my vote count? It better.
Has anyone else had this experience? How many other voters had to vote provisionally because some sort of card was not delivered by the postal service?
If anyone wants to contact me, they can. This is one angry Hamilton County voter!

- The voter card may have been this one. You will notice it has "return service requested" on the mailing.
