Ah, I see. I skimmed the quote from the mom, and when I saw her voting rights have since been restored, I thought they were talking about the daughter since I missed the part about the mom not being able to vote at one point. It is confusing.

I’m so glad she got to talk to Obama, though!

Renee, no. The article is confusing because of the outdated AP rule where you can only refer to someone by their last name. That presents a problem when the writer is referring to two people with the same last name.

It seems in the article they’re saying Amison does now have the ability to vote? Did she win an appeal?

@Emmy – Were they reporting on the scandal or what? How did his name come up?

Excerpt from today’s DNR article on Jennie Amison and her daughter getting to meet Barack Obama at JMU… sound familiar?

Amison, the director of the Gemeinschaft Home, said the chance to meet Obama probably happened because of an unfortunate incident regarding her daughter’s voter registration form.

She said on Sept. 26, her daughter went to Obama’s Harrisonburg office on North Main Street to register. On Oct. 8, two days after the registration deadline, she received a letter saying her form was rejected because it had been altered. The number nine had been written over where she had filled in her birth date.

She appealed, her mother said, but it was denied, which left her crying in a Winchester courtroom in front of several local Democratic leaders.

TV3 just reported that Camron didn’t register in time. Um…
