The worker must have been a migrant.

Yet another reason Florida sucks ass.
Election criteria is so arbitrary. In Illinois, they have a big book with the registered voters for the precinct. You give your name, they tear out the sheet, you sign it, and you get your ballot. They don't ask for any form of identification whatsoever, and they didn't have a signature on file to compare mine to. Anyone could have walked in an voted as me.
When I lived in Minnesota, they had same day registration. You didn't even have to have identification if there was a neighber of friend registered in that precinct that would vouch for you. I lived there when Jesse Ventura was elected as governor, and recall that many of the same-day registrants were Ventura supporters.

He's a shady character, I'd had him on the floor, handcuffed and pepper-sprayed.

Perhaps the poll worker was catholic? The pope never forgets.

I have to show my ID to vote, and my signature never looks the same twice, and I've never had a problem.

...they were "abrogating my right to vote." (When negotiating a government bureaucracy, the most obscure verb wins.)
This is both a) adorably amusing and b) true.

As a general rule, I resist the temptation in commercial or governmental conflicts to play the blogger card, because I don't want to be the douchebag who doesn't get the banana peppers he ordered on his pizza, so he threatens Domino's with the dire consequences of a strongly worded blog entry on a site with Google page rank 6.
God damnit, Page Rank 6?! That's not right, that's a crime. As a general rule, we skewer everyone, without fear or favor.
We're Page Rank 5 and deserve better'n that. Wave your blogger cards, everybody!
