I don't have a problem with folks being outraged at an illegitimate vote; but what I can't get behind is this outrage while at the same time being (at best) unconcerned with legitimate voters being turned away.

One is bad because it's a vote counting when it shouldn't; the other is bad because it's a vote not counting when it should. It's essentially the same functional outcome, it's just that one of these...you know...actually happens a lot and the other doesn't.
