MIAMI -- "Do you ever get the feeling that everything in America is completely fucked up?"
When actor Christian Slater uttered those words as Hard Harry in the 1990 film "Pump Up the Volume," he had no idea that 22 years later he would live them in real life.
Slater's ballot for the 2012 General Election was rejected by the Miami-Dade County canvassing board, proving that not even the rich and famous were saved from Florida's trainwreck voting headache.
And not only was his ballot thrown aside but the canvassing board managed to call him by the wrong name, addressing him instead as Christina D. Slater.
Friday Slater tweeted a photo of the rejection letter with the comment, "Hilarious! I really tried! 5 hours in line" before removing the tweet from his verified Twitter account.
In the letter, the Supervisor of Elections writes, "After a thorough review, your provisional ballot was not counted because the signature on the provisional ballot certificate envelope did not match the signature on your voter registration record."

Comments
If you scrolled down to the Bennet comment, I live in that county and we have had a wonderful supervisor of elections for 24 years that is retiring. I think these folks around here are going to get a real eye opener the next election with him. I hope this get changed by the Congress so they can't make it real hard to vote.
