I don't know whose fault this is.
The library has voters registration forms. I forgot the cut off date to register to vote, let's say Sept. 17. You fill out the form but have to mail it. Postage is included so you don't have to pay.
So it's October, and I'm at the front desk. Guy comes up asking for a form to fill out to be a member of the library. I send him to another desk. He comes back with voter registration forms and ask if we have more of them. I was thinking he was a quack or an asshole who would take all our voter forms so I told him "no." He then told me he works with the Count Clerks office and the voters registration forms were invalid. They needed a barcode on them and he was going to take the ones we had and will bring new ones tomorrow.
I told a manager and the manager asked me if I saw an ID. I told her "no" but that I will tell the secretary of the chief.
I then called a number on the back of the forms I did have that was for some State office. I was told that the voters forms need to have the barcode or else the Post Office would not deliver them. Looking on the form I see the date is for 2007 and the new voter registration forms have a date of 2011.
So a bunch of would-be voters who filled out the forms will not be registered to vote. They won't get their registration cards in the mail, and won't be listed. I don't know whose fault is this. The County Clerk for not mailing it to us? Or maybe they were mailed to us but no one put them out? The State said we would have gotten a letter about the change, but goodness knows who would have gotten it.
