i'd bet 99.9% of DU'ers know how to vote ... it's become redundant now

i love your posts on late nite talk shows and other media ... but what's your point?

And for those who want to check their registrations. Since this is the most important election in our lifetimes, and with the pandemic, the most confusing - the links provided contain all the options, specific instructions and deadlines - for this specific state. And I think it's important.

I know, MA here, and you know. I did however see a thread the other day where a poster/ voter was confused. Not sure why, yet they were.
SOS Gavin explained it all in a mailing.

We could request our ballots for our state primary(09/01) and the general at the same time.The state primary had mostly to do with Sen. Markey vs Kennedy and who would fill his seat.

Pretty simple, not sure why some are confused. MA receives their ballots 21 days before the election. We will be dropping them off at the Town Hall, that is where all residents in my town vote.

Thanks for the info.

I thought it was essential to pass on and others have appreciated the information, but I seem to have offended one DUer.

But when I was away at school, my mother sent me absentee ballots. I vote in New York and I'm confused for the first time, voted absentee in the primary since the governor sent every voter an application. But for the GE, we have early voting for the very first time, got a card in the mail listing all my options, dates and times, so I'm planning on doing that - and I'm passing on the information I have. I agree that nobody can afford to sit out or miss this election.
