(54 posts)Wife and I voted by mail at the beginning of the month. We are in Southern California and all voters receive mail-in ballots with postage-paid envelopes. We got them on a Friday, sat down with our progressive voter guides to help us with judges and ballot propositions, and filled them out together. We put them in Saturdays mail, and we received text messages both when USPS had scanned them into their system and again when the county registrar had received and accepted them (which was maybe Monday or Tuesday). It was really quick and easy, and while I miss going to my polling place and feeling the energy there on Election Day, there is something to be said for being able to research the local candidates and ballot propositions as you are filling out the ballot.
Our region is usually about 2:1 D:R, or maybe 70/30 in a good year, so it will be interesting to see how it goes this time around.
