Apparently third time's the charm when it comes to voting.

I made the mistake of submitting my first absentee ballot without a witness signature.

After board of elections emailed me about the problem. I got that ballot canceled and received my second by October 1, got the second ballot witnessed and sent back by Oct 3d. Spent the rest of October. Checking my vote status and calling my county board of elections as my second ballot never arrived.

Since there was no way in hell I was going to vote provisional ballot. I drove out to Manassas to cancel that second ballot and vote at the office of elections.

My third ballot is now officially showing up in my voter file! So I've voted three times in one election. LOL

Why didn't your 2nd ballot arrive at it's destination? That is the question. I have shipped thousands of first class packages through the USPS over the last 20 years. Only ONE never arrived. Only one. If your ballot disappeared, I have to believe there are some shenanigans going on.

In fact I get an email preview of my daily mail.

What annoys me most is I dropped my second ballot off at my local post office.
