Voting By Mail

Post by Taco » Tue Oct 11, 2022 12:13 pm

Is anyone here planning on voting by mail for the midterms? Or has anyone here ever voted by mail before? I've never done it but have at least considered it.


Woe to you, oh earth and sea
For the Devil sends the beast with wrath
Because he knows the time is short
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast
For it is a human number
Its number is six hundred and sixty-six

I've been voting by mail since I missed the 2004 general election in Michigan (got called in at 6am, got done after 8pm).

Lived in 2 states that had permanent mail-in voting (CO and CA). Have requested my Ohio ballot the last 3 years.

I've voted absentee via mail twice. First time was in 2000. Second time was 2006, I want to say. I've voted in person every significant primary & general election since then. I've never had to wait in line more than 15 minutes when voting in person, with the exception of 2004, where I was in line for probably 40 minutes.

I do, easy and I take all the time I want to research ballot issues.

I now vote in person at the clerk’s office the Saturday before an election. Usually, it’s me and 2 people there. I put it directly in the slot. Best of both worlds. I don’t see that changing ever.
