Dropped off my ballot in a collection box yesterday afternoon. This morning I was notified that my ballot was received, the was signature verified, and my vote will be counted. Elections should work this well in every state.

I am nothing if not a procrastinator. But I got it done.

Yes! I love vote by mail. Oregon was one of the first states to have automatic vote by mail, aka, vote at home. It happens automatically for all registered voters, no need to request a ballot sent by mail.

But there are now 8 states in the USA, plus Washington, DC, that have this kind of system.

Here's a good resource that shows which states in the US are more or less "vote-at-home friendly" -

Repubs are doing all they can to stop people (Dems) from voting! DON’T LET THEM STEAL YOUR VOTE!
If you vote by mail in Florida, DeSantis passed a law CANCELING ALL mailin ballot requests so you MUST SIGN UP AGAIN FOR MAIL-IN BALLOTS.
The website is a bit slow after you enter the basic info—so don’t give up!
PASS THIS ON!

Ugh, I hate in person in *so much*.

The (paper) voter guide only lists my city council candidates. It does not list civil court judges or anyone else who might be on the ballot. You have to know to go to NYC DOE's website, go to "find my pollsite/view sample ballot" so see who's actually on the ballot.

You've gotta do this in advance of going to your poll site, and then (w/ ) memorize the order you want to vote for candidates in.

So stupid. Just universal , please!

@flexghost Eight states plus Washington, DC, have "all mail voting" (aka, vote by mail or vote at home). It's pretty hard to keep up the facade that there's a problem with allowing *everyone* to vote by mail, not just disabled folks.

And by the way, vote by mail is not accessible to all disabled folks. Voters with certain disabilities need other accessible methods. One size does *not* fit all.

Voting in Oregon always astonishes me as a boy from the south. It’s so easy it’s insane there is any other way to do it.

Wondering how your state ranks when it comes to supporting "vote at home"?

Here's a helpful link:

The ballots for our local school board elections just arrived.

Election day is May 16 so we have plenty of time to research the candidates, mark our ballots, and return them, either at a drop box or by mail (free postage).

I'm so happy our state mails ballots to all voters by default (voters can choose other options - for example, some disabled voters cannot vote using the standard, hand marked paper ballot).

Maybe NY would have now if this DC PAC had been around a few years ago to help undo the disaster that is The Jay Jacobs Party?
