1. I was just on the elections home page and there was an alert

that King County GOP are offering to return people's ballots. It also suggests that people drop off their ballot at either a drop box or mail it at the post office. Unbelievable. Thanks for the link by the way. Mine is not there yet.

4. They're have been a couple of threads on that. I tried to go to the King Co GOP site to see if it

Had any GOVT stuff, but it wouldn't load! Maybe it knows I'm a dem.

I sent my ballot last Monday from Kenmore -- when did you send yours? Did you put your phone# on the envelope? There's a phone # you can call that's on this ballot tracking page. I wonder if they update it over the weekend? And check back tomorrow because it might just update at midnight like the PO does.

5. I added my phone number by my signature

I mailed mine on the 22nd.They have it.
I added my email on the outer envelope too.
I mailed it at the post office in downtown Seattle.

7. Great idea to add your email address!

6. I sent mine yesterday

I know it hasn't had time to get there yet. The site says to check back daily. I'm not so worried about my ballot becuase I did put my phone # and my email address. I forgot to make sure my husband's phone# and email address were on the back of his. I did make sure he had two witnesses for his signature though. His mother and I both witnessed him making his mark. I want to check and make sure his ballot gets counted since they won't have a phone number to call him back on.

9. Good -- I'm sure they'll get there. As long as we didn't hand it over to a "helpful" Republican, I

think it'll be okay.

12. There appears to be concerns in Boulder also

The article didn't mention any particular party affiliation. I didn't watch the video (don't want to disturb movie night)

13. There's been a problem in Oregon, too. AND others! They're insidious -- they're using so many

sneaky ways to cheat and steal our votes! It's alarming. They're SO crafty I shudder to think how many "operations" haven't been discovered!

14. Did you get that link from my several earlier posts?

It's a shame voting in this state is such a joke. I don't have a ballot yet, and every time I've voted since finding that web page, my vote has not counted. There's way too much fraud in Seattle. I know the GOPers really want to get Romney up above 20% here, and the only way they can do that is with this type of fraud.
