Voting and the homeless

I am always full of stories after a day at the homeless center -

J. came in the afternoon. He waved some papers at me. While J. was stuck in San Antonio for a few weeks, his voter registration form was deemed "incomplete". He showed me a complete set of IDs and said he couldn't understand what else he needed. I called voter Reg. office and we learned that the deputy who helped J. fill out his form made an error. So, J. can't vote. He worries his heart trouble may keep him from voting for Pres. in 08.
He said he was gonna study up on it and vote for the best man running. So if you think your vote doesn't count this November, think of J. He wanted to vote, he can't. Vote for him.
