Chances are I won't bother to find out what this is about because I don't
like mystery posts. At least it's not a cross post about "vegetarian
sausage" LOL

Is there an option of voting in-person at the courthouse?

One of these days, we will be voting online. The website could show
photos of long lines at the voting booth, the background could be the
flag. This would get me in the spirit of voting. I looked at the sample
general ballot, so I am ready.

The only food related topic worth any excitement is the beginning of
crab season... but that's not it.

Are you going to take advantage of early voting or will you wait for
the big day? I learned that early voting is hand counted along with
absentee ballots here (which ends up being after elections have been
called - even if it's not officially official), so I prefer to wait
until voting day and have my ballot count.

no

well maybe it is but that's not what I'm all excited about (and it's not
because I get a bath either, which is not food related, unless you are
Kramer, blecch)

We will do Early Voting. Here, the Early Voting is counted
electronically at the central counting station, but the voting boxes are
not opened until election day. It would be a lot of trouble to hand
count all of those ballots, almost everyone here votes early. I don't
know how the absentee or "vote by mail" ballots are counted.

We vote by machine for early or regular voting. I live in "the
sticks" and even we use voting machines for early voting and election
day. The population of the county is about 74,000.

When I worked the polls in Hampton, Va. We had paper ballots that got
read by machine. Periodically during the day we checked registers,
remaining ballots, and the number of votes cast on the machine. If it
didn't balance we worked on it until it did. Also at the end of the
day. It was a long day. We had to be there at least and hour before
the polls opened and had to stay there until everything balanced.

Several years in a row until last year we voted early. The votes were
stored electronically.

This year it looks like we may be out of town on election day so we
applied for an absentee ballot. We sent ours this weekend.

So are you going to tell us? If it's a party, I'll need directions...
