5. Well, my first voting experience in Utah

didn't happen. I registered at the DMV when I got my Utah drivers licence. When it was time to vote, I went to my assigned precinct and was told there was no record of my registration. They looked to see if I was at the right place and found I was supposed to be at another precinct. So they called the office to see if that was correct and was told that, no, this was the right place but because the precinct maps were not in order, I was to do a provisional. It so happened the same thing happened to 2 other people while I was there. We sat at the same table to do the provisional ballot and being a little curious, I asked the other 2 voters where they registered. All three of us registered at different locations BUT we were all Democrats.

OK, now I am re-registered, I've been mailed my official registration card, the internet says I am registered and the precinct is determined. Do I trust it... no.
