Re: provisional ballot in wrong polling place? WELL DUH!

["Joe Pezzillo" <jpezzillo@xxxxxxxxx>]

I thought the whole point of Provisional Ballots was specifically to 
allow people to vote IF they show up at the wrong location or don't 
have proper ID. The DRE vendors who hype the ability of their machines 
to bring up any ballot style for any provisional voters certainly seem 
to think that's an advantage of their systems in complying with the 
rules.

I can understand why voting rights activists would be concerned about 
any rule that violates a core premise of the purpose of the provisional 
ballot.

Also, since the Federal offices (senate and house) should be covered by 
federal election rules, I don't understand how the SoS can (yet again) 
create her own set of rules that violate the law.
