Nice Try

A friend in Los Angeles e-mails:

I'm standing in line at the polls this morning and these union thugs show up, walk right past the line and go up to the registration table where some diffident 90 year old woman is stationed. She tells them that the records show that they voted absentee already…

The union guys respond, "We never actually voted. We lost our ballots. So we're here to vote today."

The old woman, clearly flustered, was about to give them ballots when the supervisor swooped in and stopped her. The supervisor says, "You guys have got to be kidding." She flatly refused to let them vote and they stormed out bitching about being "disenfranchised."

Shouldn't they have been arrested?
