Is An Apology Too Much to Expect?

Today was election day. I contacted my elections office to be sure MY vote had been counted.
They had sent notices telling me that they would NOT count my votes because my signature "did not match what we have on file..." I was told that yes. indeed, my votes were counted.

I want proof. I want proof of this huge discrepancy in my signature since the fellow I spoke with said they compared to the last time I voted. I want an apology and I want them to admit that they made a mistake.

If I see that it is clearly questionable, then I will immediately apologize to THEM.

And while I'm on red tape and apologies: Did any of you hear an apology from our government about the big deal emergency broadcast test that was to happen today? Nope, as much as I like Gaga, hearing her singing is not apology enough.
