I stamped and mailed my CA absentee ballot from here in Germany on Saturday, Oct. 08, handing it to the German postal worker whom I know personally. It was returned to me on Monday, Oct. 10. I suppose that the multiple postal addresses on the outside of the envelope (my German address, my former [35-year-old] CA address, and the address of the polling place in CA) may have confused subsequent postal handlers. So I went and complained to my pal at the post office. He insisted it was a mistake and also insisted that there was no need to apply fresh stamps to the letter. On Tuesday, Oct. 11, I again found it in my mail box - marked "insufficient postage!" So I went to the post office again, and again purchased stamps and mailed it off. Haven't heard anything since. Wish there was a way to be sure that my ballot will be counted.

DNC has bought off German postal workers. Who knew?

Some states, like Colorado, let you check online if they received the ballot. Your state may be one of them.

Oh yeah, it looks like CA is one of the states that you can verify if it received the election ballot by county.
