Chelsea unlisted
But as she discovered Tuesday, being famous does not count for much when trying to vote on Election Day.
Clinton arrived at a polling place on West 20th Street in Manhattan shortly after it opened at 6 a.m., only to have election workers tell her that her name was not in the book of registered voters. The book listing her name had apparently been sent to the wrong polling place, so they could not let her walk into a voting booth and pull the lever.
They gave her the option of filling out an affidavit saying she was who she said she was and then casting a paper ballot. Affidavit votes are forwarded to the New York City Board of Elections, which confirms that someone who has voted that way is indeed a registered voter.
