Now that the Democrats are organizing the absentee vote, it will no longer favor the Republicans. Absentee balloting did favor Republicans when each individual was required to take the intiative to cast an absentee vote. Now though the Democrat party is doing all the work for its "sheeple." Believe me, when a Democrat says he is mobilizing turnout, he must be taken seriously.

The way it works down here is that there's a form to request to vote absentee which you can request from the registrar, but you don't have to. So the GOP sends a mostly filled out form (same as you'd get from the registrar if you called) to you which you need to sign and send in. The dems never did this, thus absentee balloting favors the party that has it's feces collated.
This year two days after i got my ballot request form (card really) from the GOP I got one from the registrar, so it might be a little more even, I'm not sure if the registrar sent to everybody or just those who have absenteed in the past. Either way I got my ballot yesterday and it's in the mail now.
