MY RIGHT TO VOTE

Today on April 26, 2016 is Election Day here in Philadelphia, PA. to my polling place. As I walked up to the table to give them my name, Rosaura Torres Sadler. I spoke to a Betty Scynn who is a judge of election official. Ms. Scynn said I was not in the box but…a very nice lady next to her said I was in the larger ledger, I showed her my state identification but…Ms. Scynn still was not happy with the entire issue, she seem not to believe me. Ms. Scynn kept mumbling under her breath and sadly the other person told her to stop that I was in the book.
I could not tolerate her behavior towards me any further, I made it quite clear to her that I have been a register voter since I was 18. I have been voting since then. I was born and raised here. No matter what this woman did not want me to vote….Did I feel she felt I was illegal, yes. I felt that my Torres name truly bothered her. In all the years that I have been voting here in Philadelphia, I have never experienced this….My other concern is this is a Judge of Elections Official how many more Latinos who have to come across her and go through the embarrassment I went through. I did express myself to her...one of the other workers threatened to have me arrested because, I voiced my feelings about my constitutional rights to VOTE .

WE ARE NOT GOING FORWARD, WE HAVE GONE BACKWARDS
