How will you be voting this year?

[neoteric lefty]

I want to go in and vote cast my vote on Nov. 2nd (my 1st presidential election - I turned 18 just after the deadline passed in 2000) but I live in Florida and do not trust the E-voting machines. I feel my vote will more likely to be counted if I do absentee ballot. What are you guys and girls gonna do this year?

1. In person - paper ballot.

2. In person

We have paper ballots as of two months ago.

It's a 'complete the line with a #2 pencil' ballot.

3. I'm moving to FL

the end of August - and I'm tempted to vote absentee - what is the recommendation? I will absolutely have a coranary if I go to the polls and they tell me I'm not registered or something - I have never missed an election. I live in VA and we have at least one election every year (this year there will be three - two primaries and a general) so I have voted often. I'd better be able to vote in November.

9. Presumably if there is a problem, You Wil Know When You Apply....

...for the absentee ballot and they reject the application. Do it
as far in advance as possible so you have time to fight them if
necessary.

Register as independent, and maybe they may be less likely to reject
your application or "lose" your ballot when it arrives in the mail.
(You may want to change registration after the election if that is
required to vote in subsequent Democratic primaries though).

Everyone who votes absentee should check after the election to make
sure they are marked down as having voted.

Certified mail might be a good idea too. Then someone has to sign
for your ballot, so if they "lose" it you have evidence.

16. Thanks

I was actually thinking of registering Independent - actually I thought I might register as a repunk but I wouldn't be able to stomach that.

4. I'll be voting absentee

In WA, we have the option to cast all of our votes by abesentee. It's just easier for me.

I understand your mistrust of the e-voting system. It sucks that you will never have the memory of casting your first presidential vote at a polling place.

8. We are in WA too. I am going to the polls in person

because I love seeing people get out and vote. We will not be using electronic touch screens in my county. SO is voting absentee.

5. Oregonians vote by mail

If they want to sway our votes they'll have to plan their national emergency at least two weeks early.

14. We Should Do that in California Too

Let's not have any of this "too bad San Francisco and Berkeley" didn't
get to vote because of all the "terra alerts" on Election Day.

There are certain safeguards needed for absentee balloting too,
of course.

6. My precinct uses punch card ballots

15. Probably in person

We have paper ballots in LA. Unless they change, we'll vote in person.

I've got to talk my mom and step-dad into absentee (paper). They have the touch screen ones in Kern County.
