From an email from the Inslee campaign ... ref - voting by mail great idea

[Persondem]

" Know what's fair, safe, and easy? Voting by mail.

That's how we do it in Washington state, and I think every single state should do it, too. Unlike states that use electronic voting, Washington's paper ballots can be double checked if there are questions about the results. The machines that count the ballots aren't tied to the internet, making them pretty much unhackable.

And -- most important -- you don't wait in line. You don't need to go into work late, or leave early. You don't need to wait for hours on your day off to vote early. You just fill out your ballot and put it in the mail or your neighborhood drop box. It's that easy. We even pay for the stamp!"

Gov. Inslee promotes a multitude of good ideas ... this one about improving our democracy.

1. It's a great idea for the whole country

I live in Washington state, and I remember back before we stared the mail in ballot system. It's a million times better now.

2. I once remarked here on DU that I had just mailed in my Washington State Ballot.

More than a few of you said that you were slightly envious of our situation here in Washington State.
We also have statewide funding for public schools that you might want to take a look at while you're at it.
