3 sent yesterday

signed and mailed.

Don't see any real sense in waiting. All the political ads may not be blanant lies (generally) they are ALL mis-leading and pretty much a tad less than truthful.

Wife and I mailed ours today.

So this is the first year voting for us in Oregon. Not used to the whole mail in ballot idea. Seems there could be room for error, lost ballots, ballot rigging or corruption? Has Oregon ever had it where everyone has to go in and personally vote except for a absente ballot with approval? Just wondering, and just doesn't feel right?

There were walk-in polling places with mail-in voting as an option until 1998 when the citizens voted by a 69.4% margin to make vote-by-mail the only option.

This is a common feeling from people who are not from the state. And yes I have memories of my parents going down to polls at Clackamas community college and manually voting. My Mom even counted ballots for a time, both before and after vote by mail. I frankly love the system, I can vote when I want. I can sit down with my voters pamphlet, read over the measures and supporting arguments, then fill in the ballot right there.

Mine's still sitting around. I need to go over the measures and mull it over. I've checked 2 easy ones already.

Last thursday the 25th, we voted for our favorite crookatitions!

 

[Dunerunner]

Yup, and if they had an "R" behind their name they got my vote!! If they were endorsed by SEIU or the AFL-CIO, they did not!

 

[JGRuby]

Yes for my wife and I - I will always vote - to me it is a right and my duty to do so.

I'll admit, on one of the choices for a lesser position.. I may have had a bit of fun.
John Galt is probably going to win something somewhere.

3 votes from this house to take back America from the socialist.
Called all my friends and ask them to do the same! We got to get the votes in!

 

[MilitantBEEMER]

First time voting in Oregon. Ballots are completed and will drop off in person.... I do not trust the mail in process. (no offense intended USPS employees)

Flatlander, huh?

Well, on the bright side, you don't have to worry about somebody standing outside the polling place with a big stick in his hand.

The down side, as we have found up here on the north side of the Columbia, is that mail-ins can make for some - uhhh - interesting vote counting, so I appreciate your concerns.

What brought you to the Pacific Northwest besides a tired car?

Sent in the ballot the day after I received it. Hand delivered to the post office (had to go there anyway)....just ready for the election to come to an end for at least a year
