I wasn't 100% sure till now; I voted.

I just got email confirmation that my ballot, which I mailed Tuesday morning, was received, and will be counted. I didn't get my mail-in ballot (California) until the mail came on Monday night. I had to close the bar temporarily, as there is no drinking allowed during an election, according to The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. My wife and I voted, then re-opened the bar. I mailed the ballots at the post office on my way to work on Tuesday.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

turned out to be convenient and easy for our family. Last vote we all went to the polls together. This time we met at home and filled out our ballots together. Then took them to the drop box that was located at our polling place. There was a longer line there than I can remember seeing in the last 20 years for people who choose to vote in person. That makes me believe turn out was up. Though it may just be the absence of as many polling places. We shall see.

Some counties do a sobriety test on the envelopes. Apparently there are protein differences in saliva that let them tell whether you were inebriated when you sealed the envelope.

The levels aren’t as sensitive as a breathalyzer or blood test so you have to be toasted to get rejected.

Of course, voting for trump is enough to put your sobriety in question but it’s not legal to use that.

Couldn’t resist lying. As far as I know no such test exists.

primary today, I would vote for:
