    i successfully voted today, but not after i arrived and the volunteer reading the book that has addresses and districts tried to tell me that i was supposed to vote a different school and in a different district. i insisted he was wrong (which i knew from voting previously and checking online) and as it turned out, i was right...my name was in the district book i thought.
