Voting

I am voting tonight, I have the voter's pamphlets and since our state went to vote by mail, I have my ballot in hand. I am going to get this over with so I won't have to bother thinking about it till after the vote counting begins. I kind of miss running down the road and greeting the older ladies and walking into a booth and voting, there seemed to be a sense of community to it. On the other side, I don't have to worry about trying to get down there on voting day before they close although rare for me, I know it is a real issue for others.

We have several ballot measures, one of which may get national attention if it passes. The others include land use laws, whether we want to get rid of the State run accident insurance fund and expanding the medical pot act. There are 8 issues on the ballot, looks like homework trying to see what motivated people to get these on the ballot for vote.

I am off to vote...

Okay I am done voting, The one thing I have to say is that I had trouble knowing who to believe in the voter's pamphlet. Sometimes seeing who sponsored the measure helped to see where the motive lays. I hope you vote and if you do, please try to understand what your voting for or against.

Comments:
I drop my ballot off at the police station when i run into town, but I never heard of the issue involving postage due. I just checked the envelope and it would not require added postage. Our ballot fit on one sheet, double sided.

Yes, we have to put a stamp on it, if it goes into the mailbox.
 
One interesting comment I read about early/absentee balloting is that people can vote, and then something could happen that would affect how they would have voted between the time they voted and election day...but because they've already voted, their stuck.
 
Grr. I feel so stupid when I mix up my homonyms. That's "they're stuck," not "their stuck." Grr.
