“By that point, it was way too late to request an absentee ballot,” Klooster said. She said her younger son, Jeremy Klooster, received a letter and believed it was the absentee ballot, but when he opened it a week prior to the elections, he found that it was simply an absentee ballot application. Pittsfield Township resident Andrea Klooster said her sons, who attend Albion College in Albion, Michigan, never received their ballots, even though they applied ahead of the deadline. The phenomenon of missing ballots affected students outside of the University of Michigan, too. “I found out that the wait was seven hours and given that I didn’t even know whether I was going to be able to register in Michigan based on the fact that I was already registered in Texas, (waiting) just wasn’t realistic for me,” Klein said. However, once she got there, she said she was deterred by the hours-long line. On election day, she decided to try registering to vote in Michigan at the UMMA building. “I didn’t get to (vote), and so that was really upsetting.” “I’m really passionate about Texas politics, and then the day of the election, I got duplicate letters, and they both said that I hadn’t submitted it soon enough,” Klein said.
