I can has vote
Nov. 2nd, 2008 05:22 pmWell, it's official. I've voted. Voting in California is more difficult than you might think, at least for the conscientious. As well as the national elections, there are also state, county, and city officials to choose. And then there are all the initiatives.
( How I voted )
Anyway, I sent off my ballot on Monday. Santa Clara county allows you to check online whether your ballot has arrived (cool, eh!). Mine arrived on Thursday, which is pretty good going. Years ago, I used to receive the ballot only days before the election, so I doubt that many of those votes counted. Now I know it does (barring gross fraud or incompetence).
Actually, this time there was a piece of paper in the election material about voting by fax or e-mail, but I couldn't find anything about it in the rest of the election material or on the County web site. Had my ballot not got back in time, I would have tried that (I scanned my completed ballot for just this eventuality). Or maybe that piece of paper was a scam and those were not options. I wonder...
