As usual, I am flabbergasted by my county's shoddy handling of elections
yesterday. They did a special BY MAIL only ballot, which I didn't really
pay attention to. I get tons of junk mail a day. I had put these packets
aside as something to look at later. Turns out that I couldn't go in
person yesterday to vote. So, I had to fill out my mail-in ballot and
drop it at the courthouse by 5 pm. It's a good thing my job allows me to
be flexible with my schedule. After circling 3 times looking for a
parking spot, I threw my hazards on, pulled up at a yellow curb, and
decided to make a run for it real quick.
I forgot that there would be security and lines to go through. Heh, it
was actually the first time I have ever been there even though I have
lived in this area for over 10 years. When I dropped off the ballots, I
asked the man there if they would be counted. He didn't laugh.
Here's the irony of the whole matter. I voted absentee last year because
I was out of town. It turns out that our incompetent and corrupt
supervisor of elections missed a bunch of absentee ballots. No idea if
mine was in that bunch. So, she is the first one to make a MAIL only
ballot after issuing this statement:

No idea if my vote ever has been counted in the years I have been voting
here, but I sure have been amused starting with the chad counting in
2000. =) I suppose that's a
fair trade. ;)
