Or everyone could just be more like Oregon. Vote by mail, I tell you, words can barely cover how much it rocks. Like every registered voter in the state, I got my ballot three weeks ago. I could have mailed it in any time in the two weeks after, but I like to vote on election day. So I filled it out this morning, consulting my boss who's been active in local, municipal and state politics for over 20 years (he generally knows both candidates in even the water boards races), licked the envelope, signed my name and walked one block to the drop box in the center of downtown. Even though I live two precincts or so over the river, I can drop off my ballot lots of places. Or could have done yesterday as well.

Vote by mail! It's so awesome, it's cuddly. :)
