I changed it so I could. They didn't, so I couldn't. A modest journey to put a necessary drop in the bucket. | ||

Do you have a word that you chronically misspell? Bureaucracy is one of mine... This has nothing to do with the puzzle. | ||

True story? title overly relevant? I(1) = I(2) = I(3)? I = you? A metaphorical journey? Literal journey (distance covered)? physical bucket, or metaphorical bucket? "THE bucket" significant? As in, a unique bucket? | ||

You changed your political party affiliation so that you could vote in the primary in a closed primary state? They didn't change it, so you couldn't vote in the primary? This was all part of a short journey to overthrow the government of Cuba? | ||

What you changed... Your clothes? Your mind? A tire? Your heart? Hands? A Wikipedia article? Wasn't changed by them? | ||

What you changed... Your clothes? Your mind? A tire? Your heart? Hands? A Wikipedia article? Wasn't changed by them? None of the above, thus this is unanswerable at this point. | ||

Did you apply for a postal vote? were you overseas for a relevant period of time? Did you end up not voting in the election? due to some administrative error? | ||

Did you move at some point? I would assume that if you move state you have to register to vote in a new state? Did this not happen for some reason so you had to travel back to your old area to vote there? | ||

Did you move at some point?Yes. I would assume that if you move state you have to register to vote in a new state? Yes. True, but not exactly what happened. Did this not happen for some reason so you had to travel back to your old area to vote there? This is close enough for a... ******************BLOOPER***************** I moved away from my old residence just outside Chicago, IL in January of this year. When I came to my new residence I put in to change where I was registered to vote. As it would happen, When I went on lunch from my job and went to go vote I was told that I was not registered there. Sure enough, the form never went through...This lead to me needing to leave work and drive 2 hours back to my old voting precinct to cast my ballot, then drive back so I could be in class the next morning. A modest journey to place a drop in the bucket. =) As an aside... Presidential election day should be a national holiday. C'mon, one day every four years? Hardly much to ask to make it more convenient for people to vote...and enjoy the day even more! | ||

I see. You spoiled your blooper with a blooper about your spoiler being a blooper, which is in fact correct because you made a blooper. This is history in the making. | ||

"I see. You spoiled your blooper with a blooper about your spoiler being a blooper, which is in fact correct because you made a blooper. This is history in the making." That could have been the making of another puzzle. Something along the lines of "He did not write what he meant to write. That made it correct". | ||
