We have locked ballot drop boxes in several locations around town, but I'm sure there are some who have no transportation to get to those. I think if the postage was already stamped, many more ballots would be returned. I do really like filling out the ballots at home, where we can take our time and read and discuss. I'm sure, in the past, I have been rushed and have voted for somebody because I liked the sound of their name but knew nothing about that particular candidate!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-29784778946786742202012-11-02T11:56:07.105-07:002012-11-02T11:56:07.105-07:00Oregon has mail in ballots too. Best thing since ...Oregon has mail in ballots too. Best thing since sliced bread! Got our votes in early after spending a few hours in the evening reading over all the info and waiting for our shows to start, it was nice to do it at home. The only downside is that you have to have a stamp to mail it in... you'd think that votes would be postage paid? I find it odd that they aren't. I guess if you're out of stamps you don't get to vote.AnywhereEdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08243890948543124146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-33235092115916373172012-10-28T20:16:35.912-07:002012-10-28T20:16:35.912-07:00Kitsap, don't you just love the mail in ballot...Kitsap, don't you just love the mail in ballots?Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-80967236007386582402012-10-28T18:34:54.383-07:002012-10-28T18:34:54.383-07:00We have all voted here too. :DWe have all voted here too. :DkitsapFGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06120640838501186514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-12547061176261055592012-10-27T19:17:29.544-07:002012-10-27T19:17:29.544-07:00Good for you and 2nd.

We get to sit at our kitchen table and take our time studying the voter's pamphlet, then fill out our ballots and drive them up the street to the nearest ballot drop box. It couldn't be any easier. Mr. Granny always kids that he has to vote for my selections or I'll stop cooking for him. I'm actually the one in the family who takes a greater interest in politics, and he trusts my judgement in most cases.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-16389953344180224942012-10-27T18:59:40.049-07:002012-10-27T18:59:40.049-07:00OMG, I just posted something similar to you!!!

She's the talented one, so I handed her a Sharpie and told her to start making faces on them. I think I like "The Scream" the best, with the goofy one second. It doesn't show well in the photo, but the stem on the funny one looks like a propeller, so we put a beanie on his head.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-36441614844126893482012-10-27T14:35:52.762-07:002012-10-27T14:35:52.762-07:00Glad to hear it!

Well, actually not a cancel, he abstained from voting for governor, as he didn't like either choice, so my vote counted. We usually try to do them together, so that we don't just cancel each other out completely.
