    Didn't know you could go pick one up and take it back.

    Voted today and dropped off ballot at a ballot collection Box in the Sears parking lot nearby.
    Voted for the Trump ticket and Rejected I-90, an initiative that wants to start teaching 5 year old's sex and same sex choices.

    We are in a heavily democratic area and since the party in general seems to be one of corruption, I prefer to vote in person. In a heavily republican area I would not feel so concerned and would probably vote early if I could.

    Washington state is also heavily democratic along with the entire west coast (CA, OR). No wonder there are predictions that the west coast is going to drop off into the ocean.

    I live in a district that typically doesn't even run a Republican for congress, that's how blue it is. You can vote for the democrat or some independents that make their way to the ballot. Now, since Trump moved his residence to FL, he landed in my district and we finally have someone running. That's not to say we won't have a re-run of 2000 when my county and the county just south of me held up the Bush vs. Gore election, ultimately decided by the Supreme Court.

    Our good Governor did recently fire both election supervisors in those problem counties so hopefully we won't be the center of the fiasco.

    I got a robo text from some dem organization asking when I would be voting. I replied that I would be voting everyday, twice a day and mailing in several thousand ballots for Trump in order to save us from communism.

    Your system seems way different to ours.

    - We can apply for a postal vote if we are physically unable to attend a polling booth to vote.
    - We can vote early at limited locations under some other restricted conditions
    - Otherwise we attend on the day, vote then in person, and most booths will have an initial count finished before say 10pm

    So we probably have a 90+% chance of knowing the results of an election before going to bed election night.

    P.S. Plus voting is compulsory.

    Sounds like Calvinism. No choice.
