I was a pollworker in Weho that day ... i went above and beyond to make sure people did it right. ... I could understand how all the senior citizens who usually are the volunteers could've got it wrong. ... they honestly change the polling rules every few months, it's ridiculous.

You were handed an incorrect ballot. That happened to a lot of people. Since your ballot already said Democrat on it, there's not reason why it wouldn't be counted correctly. However, that may throw off any audits of how many people from each party voted in each precinct. That doesn't affect you, personally, but it affects how campaigns make strategic decisions in the future.

I'm just curious about something. All these articles keep mentioning a Non-Partisan ballot. However, I am non-partisan and requested a democratic ballot and the ballot I got actually said democrat at the top (it was the same exact ballot my friend, who is registered Democrat, got). Did I get an incorrect ballot? I then marked the Democrat bubble. If you actually have a democrat ballot and you mark the democrat bubble does that effect how your vote is counted?
