What to do about voting

[vanbean]

I just had a lovely Obama volunteer here and she gave me an absentee ballot form to mail in to get the official ballot. After talking with her a few minutes she also brought up early voting and I mentioned to her that I am leary of early voting and election fraud. She made what I thought was a great point about absentee voting. In NM we have electronic voting and if you take in the absentee ballot you a. don't have to wait in line, b. there is a paper trail. I thought that made a lot of sense and got forms for my husband and family members. I think that might be the way to go but am wanting to know what others think?

1. Do it, Definitely.

1. No lines.
2. No gas to get to polling station.
3. Paper trail.
4. No electronic fraud.

Its the new age. All the republicans are doing it from old folk homes. Meanwhile Democrats, tired after a long day at work, don't want to deal with the lines, getting hassled by a bunch of right wing poll police and end up not voting, thinking what's one more vote.

Thanks for voting for OBAMA.

2. Vanbean meant...

taking the absentee ballot to the polls and handing it in.

"...if you take in the absentee ballot... "

I think it's a great idea by the way.
