They had to be mailed last Friday. I am dropping mine at the polls tomorrow — you can drop them at any poll. I started to think that maybe the USPS would involve more libs siphoning off ballots than at the polls. California will do pretty well in this, regardless of what a cesspool of liberals we have along the coast. Lots of feisty conservatives here, too. We’d of course appreciate your support, those of us who are not pinheads.

Is there a post office at the grave yard?

How else would Harry Reid get his subscription copies of Old Fart Monthly?

I threw mine away. I will be at the polling station at 7AM tomorrow to personally pound a nail into the coffin of US Marxist / Leninism

They need to go to their precinct tomorrow and vote “provisionally” in person.

California is a *LOST* cause for Republicans. In 2000 the *RAT* secretary of state *ADMITTED* that a *MILLION* absentee votes for Bush would *NEVER* be counted!

Bush may not have won *CALIFORNIA* if they had been counted, but he may *WELL* have won the *POPULAR* vote *NATIONWIDE*.

There are a couple of ways to work it out per the usual procedures: if you still have the ballot then you bring it in to your precinct and they work it out from there. If you don’t then they work it out in a different way (”provisional voting” as I advised somebody a few posts back) and then they work it out “downtown” by making sure you don’t have that “provisional” ballot (in a signed envelope) and also a absentee ballot (also in a signed envelope) in the big pile of envelopes.

“So how long do these pinheads get to return those ballots?”

As long as it takes for a Demoncrat to win!

Remember Al Franken?

Each time there had to be another RECOUNT until Al Franken WON!

Evidently not, I believe they can catch a duplicate vote in your name and from your address.

Polling 101

A provisional ballot is used to record a vote when there are questions in regards to a given voter’s eligibility. A provisional ballot would be cast when:

1.The voter refuses to show a photo ID (in regions that require one)
2.The voter’s name does not appear on the electoral roll for the given precinct.
3.The voter’s registration contains inaccurate or out-dated information such as the wrong address or a misspelled name.
4.The voter’s ballot has already been recorded

The vote by mail ballot still counts as lonng they are still on the rolls

As of Monday morning, many counties had received only about half of the absentee ballots they had mailed out. More than 7.6 million absentee ballots were requested statewide for the general election. In some counties, vote-by-mail is expected to exceed in-person voting.

Sounds like a system designed to allow the maximum possible vote fraud. This is insane. If the intent was to have honest elections, plus provide some additional convenience, states could have voting on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday of early November, and be very strict on who was allowed an absentee ballot.

But this voting for weeks of early voting and sending out absentee ballots to half the voters is a formula for fraudulent elections

Or maybe they won’t be returned. Maybe people requested them and didn’t return them. We have permanent absentee status in CA. Once you register as that, you get an absentee ballot each election. In other words you don’t have to request it each time.

No, You take the mail-in ballot to the poll with you and turn it in. The voter register you sign, when you vote, shows you have received a mail-in ballot. You must turn in the Mail-in ballot at the voting place or you can’t vote there.

Even if some races are statistically decided there are other races including some local races that come down to a few votes. I won’t see my friend who works for the registrar’s office for days after most elections. At least in her county all votes be counted before the election can be certified, sometimes several days to weeks after a election. The results will know but it ain’t official till it’s certified.

I imagine the commie ‘RATS are waiting to find out tomorrow night how many “votes” each one of their candidates are going to need before they fill them out and start hiding them in car trunks, closets, “under the table, etc. Easter egg ballots.

I bet they count only the liberal votes.
