I voted early yesterday first time ever (dropped off my ballot)! [View all]

Thanks to everybody turning out in 2019, we've flipped the legislature in VA, and early/absentee/mail voting is now legalized. For the first time in my long life, I was able to vote early. It was nerve-wracking to figure out all the processes and make sure I got every single detail right, but well worth the effort.

In VA, you had to have a damned good "excuse" and for practical purposes, it was nonexistent. lagomorph777 Sep 2020 #5

nonsense. drray23 Sep 2020 #6

The changes are major and real. I was not going to take chances and lie in prior years. lagomorph777 Sep 2020 #7

I agree that it will make it much easier. drray23 Sep 2020 #8
