We also have those come in who are at the right precinct, but for whatever reason, are not on the computer list we work off of. But those are allowed to vote anyway in what is called a Provisional ballot, which goes in a separate box and are checked out later--to make sure they are actually registered, legal voters.
I suspect if you looked at your situation objectively, you'd find that the error---if there was one----was most likely yours. They don't change voting places at the last minute and they are ALWAYS listed in the newspaper in the weeks before and the day of the election.

Yeah I agree. I remember my very first election when I was old enough to vote I for some reason wasnt on the list. I didnt get in some pissy fit, I simply asked them what would be the best way to go about getting my vote in and they had me fill out a provisional ballot. That was fine, I didnt raise a (*)(*)(*)(*) about it, and I had the faith that my vote would be counted.
By the way, if you fill out a provisional ballot, there is a number that you can call after the election to see if it got counted. So Midnight after doing what you did, you should have called to see if your vote ever got counted or not.
