3. Don't hold your breath waiting for the replacement ballot.

I never got mine. When I called on Friday to tell them my replacement Ballott never arrived either, the clerk said I was the first person to call with that complaint. She said I will have to go to the polling place by my house (and take time from work!) on election day and fill out a provisional ballot.

And she gave me the same "it's the post office" excuse. She said one person went to her post office and found her ballot sitting there. I said that makes no sense unless I had a post office box, which I don't. She then said the Orange County Register's Sunday paper delivery is behind by two weeks. That sounded even hinkier to me. I said who would want a two week old newspaper? She just laughed and seemed to not think it was a big deal.

I called the OC Register and they said they don't use the US post office for deliveries; they use "completely different carriers."

This just keeps getting weirder....
