Judge reconsiders, allows Somerset woman to vote
The Somerset County woman who was turned away from the polls on Saturday will get to vote in this year’s general election after a judge was offered new information and reconsidered.
In a hearing this morning, the woman testified that she went on the U.S. Postal Service website to change her address from Mercer to Somerset and was prompted to check a box to “begin updating my voter registration.”
The menu is complicated, requires a credit card, and uses a private company, MyMove.com, to process the registration. There are additional steps the voter must take – ultimately printing and mailing their own change of address form. But the directions are confusing, and it’s easy for voters to become confused.
The woman was not given the opportunity to explain her extenuating circumstances in Saturday’s hearing
