I heard reports during the Alaska primary that they would have to resort to counting the absentee ballots and the MILITARY votes. Shouldn't they go first? I've always wondered if a few absentee ballots find their way to some File 13 during the process. I don't trust 'em. I get to the booth on election day. Just got used to it, I guess.

All ballots need to have been postmarked by August 24th, Election Day. But ballots coming from in-state and domestically have a deadline of September 3rd to be received and September 8th for overseas and military votes.

I live in Ohio but I don’t (won’t) vote absentee.

I will be out of state on voting day - so, my wife and I will be voting absentee.

I was taught that absentee was for when it was impossible to by physically present on election day. This “people who prefer to vote by mail” stuff is a crock IMO.

Please do not vote absentee if you have a choice. It is VERY hard to challenge a regular ballot compared with the options for challenging an absentee ballot. I would never give the crooks a better chance to ignore my vote. If they want to beat us, we should make them bring in more dead voters, instead of allowing them to challenge an administrative detail on an absentee ballot.

If you have no choice, that’s different, but I hope no conservative will vote absentee if the only reason is for the convenience.

I'm kinda old-fashioned, and I believe much of the fraud could be eliminated if we just required voting in person only, except the military. Second, positive voter ID required when you show up. And third, an indelible ink fingerprint would be taken, and you would be like the Iraqi's with the blue ink (positive ID for one man/one vote). Motor-voter should be outlawed. Too many honest citizens' votes are neutralized by vote fraud, and, I believe, vote fraud should mandate a penalty of at least 1 year imprisonmnet (no plea bargains, no second chances, and NO TOLERANCE).

But...that's just me applying common sense, which is nearly against the law in the eyes of Judges anymore...

All of Washington state went to “Fraud by mail” er, I mean vote by mail.

Given all the doubt about recounts and absentee balots created by Dem fraud and incidents like in Minnesota, I think you can do the most for your candidate by casting a vote on election day that will show up in the original vote count.

Imagine if a few thousand Coleman absentee voters had instead gotten off their asses and showed up on tuesday. It would have changed the whole game if colman had looked to have been up by 3000, rather than 700 after the original count. Dems looking at numbers like that may have not bothered with their tricks. And if you show up, there is far less chance of having your vote robbed, as any overseas soldier can tell you.

Get off the couch and show up on Nov. 2, you lazy POS.

Hubby and I usually vote by mail.

[svcw]

If I am out of town I will.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I’ve been absent from Ohio since 1992. Can I vote?

[Retired Greyhound]

I’ve been voting absentee for about 8 years.
