Midland County Voter Mystery
By Beau Berman, CBS 7 News
Midland, Texas | Thousands of Midland County residents have cast their ballots in early voting but one woman's vote isn't going to count.
Imagine showing up to vote, providing your identification but being told your vote won't count. Greenwood's Crystal Kennedy experienced just that.
"I've been registered, I voted last year and now it's saying I can't and this is a big election", said Kennedy.
When she went online to check for polling locations she typed in her information only to see that she was not recognized.
"It said I wasn't registered so the first thing I did was call the annex building and I said we have a problem here", said Kennedy.
Crystal says she voted in the presidential election in 2004 and local elections since then, but this time around she isn't allowed.
"We show that she was canceled in the year 2000. We have no record of her ever having registered in Midland", said Midland Elections Administrator Ruth Sloan.
But Kennedy has had the same name and lived at the same address in Greenwood since 1992. She claims to have voted twice since her alleged cancelation in 2000.
