Is your county going to allow 12 days of early voting?

2. Traditionally provisional and absentee ballots are NOT counted

That came out in 2000. Unless there are enough absentee and provisional ballots to change the results, they are generally NEVER counted, just thrown in the trash one the election is certified and beyond challenge. While I know that my county's Supervisor of Election counts ALL ballots, I would not rely on it if he ever leaves office. I trust the man who is running the process, not the actual process itself, which is sad.

As many people, I prefer voting in person anyway. While I also prefer voting on Election Day in case some last minute information comes out that might change my choices, I have used early voting over the last few elections for practical reasons. My regular polling place has a gravel surface parking lot and with my bad knees I had trouble navigating it.

For the primary this month, I voted early the day after I got out of the rehabilitation hospital for my second knee replacement. I knew I could not get around the gravel lot with my walker but the early voting location is fully paved and I knew I could get in and out there.
