I voted!

LOVE vote-by-mail.

Come on, Oregon DU! Let's show 'em how it's done.

1. I voted in my living room over the weekend.

Took my time considering the pros and cons of each ballot measure, with a beverage by my side and my favorite music on.

I just might take up my county clerk's offer of observing the ballot-counting process on election night. It's open to the public. They take pride in accurately tallying each vote in each precinct.

I haven't heard of ANY problems with vote totals or accusations of election fraud since this system has been implemented. Truly, I don't see how it's possible to rig an election with all the safeguards in place. You'd have to physically steal ballots from drop box sites (stealing mail is already a felony) -- but you'd have no way of knowing whom you'd be helping, since the ballots are sealed.

Our voter turnout is among the highest in the nation, usually well over 80% in presidential election years. Voters here are very happy with it. I think more states should follow our lead!

4. We're fortunate to have an excellent system that is free of corruption.

Might be due to our relatively small population. I'm not sure how it might work for very populous states like, say, NY or CA.

3. And don't it feel good! We didn't even get our ballots until Tuesday.

I was getting worried
