Steve Miller, a 27-year-old Brooklynite for Ron Paul, just
called in to report that poll workers at PS 180 (57th and 16th
Avenue) wrongly informed a voter who wanted to cast a ballot
for the Texas Congressman that there were only two Republicans
on the ballot.
MIller, who is a volunteer poll-wacther for Paul, said the
woman tried to vote on a machine, but was given an emergency
ballot when the machine malfunctioned. She was then informed
by "multiple" poll workers, who repeated their claims
to Miller, ("right to my face," he said), that Paul
wasn't on the ballot.

The woman did finally manage to vote for Paul, according to
Miller, who said he has been spending the day traveling from
one polling site to another to hand out Paul literature and
talk to voters. He said he was asked to leave one site (PS 201)
even though he was well behind the legal line that denotes the
no-politicking zone.
