It was only because I stayed there and fought for my right to vote that the truth became clear and I was allowed to vote. I was tickled pink when I learned that OR voted by mail.

It has no higher rate of voter fraud than traditional voting. And, if you want to make sure you have alllll of the information that may come out in the days before an election, like Bix mentioned, you're certainly free to drop it off on election day at one of the Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05852785588050696954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6341290058789121036.post-7336406938822052472008-05-15T20:36:00.000-07:002008-05-15T20:36:00.000-07:00That would be 'hear,' of course, not 'here'...damn...That would be 'hear,' of course, not 'here'...damn dictaphone....<BR/><BR/>-- bixAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6341290058789121036.post-6552203259808346642008-05-15T20:35:00.000-07:002008-05-15T20:35:00.000-07:00I submit my ballot every election on Election Day ...I submit my ballot every election on Election Day by driving past the county building on SE Madison and handing it to a volunteer in an orange vest. I feel entirely safe and I've waited as long as any fool standing in a line in, oh, West Palm Beach. I think vote-by-mail entirely protects my franchise and, indeed, expands it.
