All David Barringer wanted to do today was vote. Too bad he already did.
The Faith resident went to vote this morning and was told he'd already voted three weeks earlier.
He's unsure of the circumstances, but believes either someone fraudulently used his name to vote or it was human error.
"I would like to find out who did this. It's scary in a way that someone would use your address to vote for you," he said.
In order for him to still vote, Barringer had to fill out a provisional ballot that was then sealed.
Another theory is that another David Barringer gave his name and information and the person who worked at the polls accidentally keyed in the wrong Barringer.
An investigation will be done to determine exactly what happened, said Board of Elections Director Nancy Evans.
The state does not require a potential voter to show identification. The poll worker asks for birth date or an address.
David Barringer of Faith is now wondering if his vote will count.
