>  I had previously corrected my registration card a month ago
Uzi: (I'm not for sure if the story helps, but, fyi) My nephew had a 
similar situation. Fortunately, tho,  we caught it early, before election 
day. He registered but instead of what it should be, "Siegel," it became 
listed as "Stigel." We sorted out the error when I couldn't find him at
http://www.sboe.state.nc.us/
in the "Check Your Voter Registration Here" link

Anyway, I was glad I thought to check for him to verify ahead of time. Pain 
in the butt, however since his handwriting is pretty ...challenged, I could 
see why "Siegel" could become "Stigel." ...being a forgiving kind of guy 
(and also since it was worked out early) all was copecetic with the world!

Anyway, I'm glad you got this worked out, and didn't have to stew, uh, too 
much;-)
