Get out the bottles of blue ink for the finger, of course, the kind that won't wash off, and let all people from age 17 on up voting for their choice. All that will be needed is the registration name and drivers licence, giving their home address, and a social security card. After watching "All the Presidents Men" the other night, more than ever, these candidates, and those in the future, need to be open about their past and forbid and negative comments about each other, and stick only to the issues and forget about tv ads and slander.

Missouri is a swing state and this particular area is loaded with Obama supporters. I heard from my friend that lives here the problem was corrected around 7:30 CT. Hopefully those that were turned away will be able to come back and vote. What a disgrace!!

Don't people wonder why these "random occurrences" are always to the detriment of the Democrats? How convenient that this happened in probably the second most Democratic area in Missouri.

Once the "correct" registration books arrived there were still problems. There were no names beginning with "D", and the alphabetical sequence was incorrect creating even more confusion.

Flip it around and when the republicans have a roadblock, it is just "too bad". Why is it when anything goes wrong that affects the democrats, it is viewed as some sort of conspiracy?

I went to where my registration card told me to but they couldn't find me in their book. After a couple of phone calls it turned they made a mistake on the registration card. So, after close to two hours of waiting I finally got to vote. What a morning!
