I was thrilled today
traveling through Wichita Kansas I came up upon an older gentleman driving a pickup truck. Across the rear window of the cab were 3 Asses of Evil stickers with Bush Cheney & Rummy pictured with goofy looks. I honked my horn and gave a thumbs up at a stop sign and pointed to the bumper stickers. He grinned a mile wide.

Few hours later when I got home, 2 lovely young women came through the neighborhood calling on registered Dem's to ask if you wanted to receive a Vote by Mail ballot or if they could answer any questions. Wow it was a good day!

2. Vote by mail ballot?

Is that how they do it in KS? I mean are you sure they were legit? I just mention it because I could totally see the Rs going around and tricking people into thinking they had voted by sending a sham ballot.

If they offered you a ballot to mail in, they were FRAUDS. You must req one in writing which is then mailed to you directly.

6. It is a regular ballet that is mailed to the registered voter.

5. It was probably an application for an advance ballot.
They distribute the apps ahead of time, and mail the actual ballots at election time.

8. Yeah, we give applications out all the time
I can't imagine being allowed to bring a ballot to a voter.

4. Sounds like great news
I'm looking for signs like that here in the Christian Fascist stronghold of Henry County Georgia, but haven't seen anything like that. However the absence of Bush04 stickers on SUV's--ubiquitous a year ago-- is noticeable.
