I went in to vote absentee today. I prefer to vote on voting day because it’s fun to chat with the poll workers and get a read on turnout (I try to go late in the day). Due to my work schedule, however, I wasn’t sure if I could make it to the polls on Tuesday. In order to make sure I’d get to vote, I took care of it today.
I’m still amazed by the lack of security when voting. I had to give my name and address to vote. I had to sign the envelope for my absentee vote, but the clerk didn’t have any way to verify my signature since she never asked for any ID. I could have put a paw print there and nobody would have known the difference.
In any case, I’m relatively sure that my vote will be counted… sort of… maybe…
