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

4. Every vote should be counted, not just the 'main' ones

There should be no distinction according to how they were cast or who cast them. How are the voters to know how close an election is if an entire category of ballots are ignored simply because they are not in some pre-determined class? Absentee ballots are needed and places such as Washington state do very well with putting all voters on the same voting method with them. But I don't like the idea that just because the scanned ballots reach a certain result, absentee and provisional ballots can just be tossed.

The only time I voted absentee was my first opportunity to vote - 1972. I was a college student and my legal residence was my parents' address, 350 miles away. Of course, that was the first time I felt as though an election was stolen with Nixon's dirty tricks.

Fortunately I am now in much less pain than before the knee replacements - the day after the surgery I could say that. Next week I will be healed enough to begin building strength and endurance. So my disability is now only temporary.
