    5, After speaking with Mrs. Lee, I was not satisfied with her reason/excusefor the cancellation notice from the Henrico County Registered office, so I took i t furtherand contacted another office, where I was transferred Mr. Ellis, who I was told that hewould be the point of contact for the cancellation issue. I explained the above mentioninformation concerning my voting cancellation to Mr. Ellis, as I did to Mrs. Lee. Hestated that, "I went to Kentucky to vote within the last years and came back to Virginia,and I was in their (Kentucky) voting system." I stated to him that is not a true statement.My husband and I both live, own two homes and several motor vehicles; which we payproperty tax on both, as well as, we both work in the state ofVirginia and pays statestaxes. I also told him that that I subsequently registered to vote in Virginia for the last 9years. Mr. Ellis informed me that when "I left Kentucky, I should have cancelled myvoter registration." I told him that there was no such requirement and my voterregistration in Virginia is valid for approximately nine years.

    6. I was told that I would be put back on the voter registration rolls; which, I

    received my voter registration card on October 2, 2013.7. When my voter registration was cancelled because I had registered to vote

    Kentucky approximately 9 years ago; I am very angry and I feel as though my dignity, aswell as my rights has been stripped from me. Not to mention feeling as if, I hadcommitted a crime (traud). I also wanted to contact the media (news station) to let themknow about what happened. It is my opinion that my voting cancellation seemed likefraud and voters should know this is going on, especially as many of them might notcheck their mail or have any idea that their voting registration has cancelled until they tryto vote on the day of election.
