I live in Ohio but I don’t (won’t) vote absentee.
I live in Ohio too and going to Vote used to be a special event. Now, being unable to stand in a line any length of time due to age related problems, I vote by Absentee Ballot. It worries me tho—always wonder if they really count them and if so, do they do it by hand, machine or what? After the Acorn thing of 2008; the stuff that went on with Al Franken’s eventual selection, etc.—I’m always sort of skeptical re how they handle the ballots.
