I don't work from home but somehow I don't think they are doing that. And restaurant servers here are every bit of the range from inept to incredibly good as I've experienced in the many places I've lived in or visited.

I feel like you are describing some totally podunk place from the 1930s. That is not remotely the New Mexico I've experienced.

Better yet, this is a state that makes voting incredibly easy. Lots and lots of early voting, and so long as you are in your own country you don't need to care about a specific precinct. Show up, tell them who you are, and they print the specific ballot you need on the spot. Fill it out, it goes into a machine which will spit it back if you've done something like double vote.
