And to cut back on polling places for a county this size...what were they thinking????? When I lived in the Chicago area a few years ago, I told people how we’d vote by mail. Instead of positive comments, people were bashing me for not going to a polling place. Whatever.....
Especially since 4 years ago there was only 1 contested primary. It would seem with both parties coming to the polls this year you’d look at that 200 as a good start, not as way too much. Maybe a memo got messed up in translation, maybe they were supposed to add 60 but somehow the “add” fell off.
Some people get really twitchy about not voting at the polls. I love vote by mail, especially when there’s a bunch of propositions. I always felt like I was cheating somehow when I brought a note to remind me how I’d decided to vote on all the props in the past, now I just do it all in my living room.
