Are you voting Absentee or In Person?

[friesianrider]

Is it less likely my vote won't be counted if I vote absentee or in person? My Mom and I can't decide. Our votes probably won't be counted either way, but we'll take the better of two choices. How are you voting?

[Rick Myers]

3. absentee

don't ever know where I'll be ;)

[CrispyQ]

4. In person.

I don't trust absentee any more than I trust in person.

So sad.

[djohnsper]

5. In person

In person here...  I'm in Connecticut.  We have the lever
machines here that have been used for decades.

6. absentee

permanent absent voter. I am in CA and we have lots of propositions to decide. I like my kitchen table, partner and I study the issues together.

8. Awesome. In Drew Barrymore's documentary, now showing on

MTV, she voted by mail.

7. Absentee

I took my mom to vote in the CA Recall.
She is in her 80's.
She had a very hard time following the columns and punching in her choices. And, my mom is doing well for her age.

In the Nov. 2nd election I will not subject her to the crowds or the process.

It is also taking time away from people who must vote and get back to work etc.

I also heard that there are not as many polling places as before. That makes it even worse.

9. In person. I'm whispering to the machine, Even if you have been programme

for evil, I know you don't want to do that, so please just record the votes correctly.

Besides, i wanna see the turnout for myself

10. Hence forth, ABSENTEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[alittlelark]

11. absentee

here in the Bay area we are BBV

[cindyw]

12. I don't trust the mail. Do know how many letters of mine have been

delayed or lost in the mail. No way. I am handing my ballot in at the voting booth. They even let you put it into the optical scanner yourself. I feel like it is safer that way instead it going through so many hands in the postal service.

[JohnnyRingo]

13. I'm voting both ways this time

...For the sake of any lurking freeps.

they always suspected as much

[mikehiggins]

14. IN person. In fact I'm trying to get appointed to work the polls. n/a

[AlCzervik]

15. In person, i'll be helping at the polling place

we still have have optical scan so i'm hoping it will work out ok.

[eyesroll]

16. In person.

We've got paper ballots (read by scanner, but kept for hand recount, so no BBV) in WI. I kind of like the idea of showing up on Election Day and getting the little "I voted" sticker and arguing with the old ladies (once out of maybe 7 times I've voted at this address), that really, the man who voted earlier from this address wasn't me. (One of the two poll workers in charge of verifying voters has marked my husband, who generally votes earlier in the day, as me. At least once I know of. I was eventually allowed to cast my ballot.)

[NoPasaran]

17. In person

But probably I'll use early voting because I JUST CAN'T WAIT.

[damntexdem]

18. I plan to vote absentee in person.

Go to the court house and vote early.

[Ladyhawk]

19. Which should I?

I'm registered at my mother's address, which is so out in the sticks, they don't have polling places and must vote absentee. I'm thinking of re-registering at my new place. I probably should, anyway, but I'm not sure what kind of polling equipment will be available to me, if any. I may still be a "sticks" person who must vote absentee.

[cally]

20. Probably Absentee

but I'm hoping to do early voting instead if I'm allowed to. I'm a permanent absentee voter so I'm not sure. On election day, I'll be too busy getting everyone else out to the polls.

21. Absentee

In college, I can't really vote in my hometown.

[Pastiche423]

22. Mail/Drop off

[Kathy in Cambridge]

23. In person

my polling place is a two-minute walk from my front door
