Something happened here today, and I thought it might be useful to start a thread on individuals' experiences with mail-in voting.
We received information in the mail today about how to receive a mail-in ballot. The return address indicates that the letters were sent by our County Board of Elections.
However, we also received an extra one - for a man who lived here before we did, and whose mail we've received before.
The problem is, we've been here almost 14 years; he's been gone at least that long, if not longer.
I was pleased to see that I have to actually REQUEST a mail-in ballot - I was afraid that they were just going to send them out willy-nilly to every registered voter.
But why did I receive one for a long-gone former tenant? From what rolls are they taking these names and addresses? If they are taking them from 'registered voter' records, how often do they update those?
I would like to see posted others' similar experiences with this whole new 'system' - especially if you live in Maryland.
(We actually intend to vote in person. There has been some indication that we may have to do that at another location than our usual community one, but the last we heard, the plans were still to make it possible to do so.)

I guess that’s an acceptable enough amelioration and retraction of your original creepy, provocative post. There are too many people on FR gunning - and trying to gin others up for - CWII.
(My ‘mommy’ has been dead since 1974, dear; and I never knew her. Everything I know about civics, politics, and how to conduct and present myself in a civilized Republic, I learned from my WWII Marine Vet father.)

Hate to tell ya, but they’re right. Not only that, it’s already here, we’re just wondering when the first actual shots will be fired. Some say they already have been fired. Seattle, Portland, Kenosha, Austin...some fired by left wing radicals, some by those on the right such as the one in Austin, confirmed self defense. Try to blame the right all you want to, that’s a crock. They are not the ones inciting the violence, that’s easy to prove. Radical left wing animals are literally trying to start a war, that’s why we have been talking about it, and many, like myself, preparing for one.
It’s already started, it just hasn’t gotten to the point of large scale firefights. that’s coming, no doubt. I refused to admit it for a long time, but the past year or two has greatly changed my mind. It’s not coming, it’s here NOW...
Deny that all you want, if you’re getting your news from anyone who’s not trying to hide the truth, it’s hard to avoid seeing it. The group ‘black lives matter’ has specifically said so.

We are a Marxist trained group and if our demands are not met, we will burn this system down.
That’s an almost exact quote. It’s a declaration of war, whether you want to admit it or not. And they have proven they are willing to do it. Several large cities are already partially destroyed, businesses burned to the ground, damages probably approaching $1 billion at this point. And left wing liberal mayors and governors not only refuse to try and stop it, they order police to stand down and they attack and insult President Trump if he tries to stop it.
No, your “right wing people” you try to blame it on are not the ones at fault, and that is easy to prove. CWII is not coming, it’s actually here. BLM and Antifa are the advance forces from the left. I’m just not sure when the right will start really shooting back...
Part of it is doing anything they can think of to steal this election, including trying to prevent access to the polls if I’m not badly mistaken, and I don’t think I am. They’ve tried it already. In 2008 the New Black Panthers had people stationed at a polling place in Pennsylvania, one of them with a baton, intimidating voters. Obama and Eric Holder dropped the charges, of course. I will not allow them to stop me. I promise you I WILL vote Nov 3, or I will die trying. PERIOD...
Don’t think this is bluster, machismo or anything of that nature. These people are ready to steal this election any way they can, including by stopping me when I go to vote, if they make it out here to the boonies. I am not kidding when I say I am prepared to shoot my way in, and unless they have a dozen of them there to stop me, I can probably do it. And I won’t be alone, like I said, plenty rednecks out here will not tolerate it. It’s very possible that will not be an uncommon occurrence that day, all over the country. These people are that desparate to stop Trump. I don’t expect it, not out here, but I am prepared to fight if they do come here.
I know we’ll have trouble, I know they will cheat, I just don’t know exactly how far they will go. But I do know they won’t even think twice about violence, they show me that every day, and they have used that tactic in an election before. They just haven’t tried it out here in redneck land...I hope they have better sense. A lot of people are even more vocal about it than I am. And a lot less laid back...I know women who will bring shotguns if necessary. You have no idea how many women have pistols in their purses. Including democrats.
People are ready to get serious. The comments I see daily are scary. I’m not looking forward to it at all, but I have to accept reality, it’s here staring me in the face. Don’t kid yourself CWII is not happening. It’s already started. The question now is how bad will it get?
Huh.
It appears I had you to rights from the beginning.
I seem to recall that we had a Civil War once before, the bloodiest and most tragic we’ve ever engaged. The right side ostensibly won, that time - but NOBODY really won that war, it was a war that never even had to take place.
I don’t want to see that, again, while you seem to be enthused over the prospect. And you give BLM - who, along with other motley crews who have nothing going for them but some funding and are destroying the very neighborhoods they brag that they care about - FAR too much credit and power in your mind.
(You are writing a little better, now; I must give you that.)

“””””””””””””””””””””””””””””
You just think you know me. You’re nowhere close.
You remember we had a civil war before...I thought they stopped teaching history. OK maybe you went to high school 20 years ago...yes it was bad, but today’s dumbasses seem to be ill equipped to learn from it. Instead they want to erase our history and repeat it.
I’m not enthused about another one, I’m scared actually. But I don’t ignore the evidence right under my nose. It is already started. We’re just not yet to the point of open firefights. I don’t think it will be too long though, immediately after the election if it takes that long. But it definitely is started.
You think I give BLM and Antifa too much credit? Nope. They have enough clout from somewhere to get their so called leaders interviewed on TV. They have enough power to cause thousands of people to riot in the streets, burn down buildings, use laser pointers to blind cops, steal millions in merchandise, throw molotov cocktails at police...and the organization and logistics to have people drop off caches of bricks, rocks, frozen water bottles and bats in specific places before the riots start.
Try to put just one together like that, think it all through and see if you think a ragtag group of nobodies with no financial backing or organizational capabilities could pull it off. No, I don’t give them too much credit, you give them to little. Or maybe you refuse to admit just what a serious threat we’re facing. Someone out there can put a riot together, and actually make it happen, in less than 24 hours. That scares me. Someone oout there is good enough at propaganda to get these people to believe them and follow them into a riot....that scares me.
How wold YOU get several busloads of people violent enough to willing to start a riot to another state, weapons and projectiles handy they can trow, everythng they need to make molotov cocktails, just how do you notify that many people with less than 12 hours notice? In Kenosha, they were rioting in 12 hours or so.
You’re talking about some serious planning and coordination. Don’t tell me I’m overestimating them or giving them too much credit. From what I see so far, I may not be giving them enough credit.
What am I wasting my time with you for anyway? You are just like the bonehead I had to deal with a couple of weeks ago, started an argument just to start an argument. Butt in on a discussion with someone else where you have no business and start an argument just to argue.
Now just go away...actually I guess you could be the same dumbass, I can’t remember the user name now...you idiots are just that memorable. Couple of days and you’re forgotten...
Go away.
Judging by your SN, I’ll say you are in VA.?
Seeing as how you’re that close to DeeCee, and your Gov. Is Dem/Communist, I can see them sending them out to anyone and everyone.
Thus far here in Indy, we’ve not seen any such mailings.
I’m voting in person, anyhow.

Got two here.
One with my name, one with ex wife name (divorced 2012).
...on hers, wrote “not at this address”
On mine
NO THANK YOU
DEMOCRATS WILL NOT STEAL MY VOTE
I’LL VOTE IN PERSON
...mailed them back
Oh, and took a photo of mine with remarks, just in case is needed at the polls
I guess that means you can't vote in person.
Could someone from one of those states enlighten us?
My Governor happens to be a Republican. But my county is in the area of the state where everything is Blue.
The same thing happened to Virginia - the densely populated areas in Northern VA, around DC, decide everything, for everyone.
The leftists want to get rid of the Electoral College precisely because a few highly populous areas around the nation will then rule everything for all of us.
Live in NJ. Just saw on facebook that all registered voters are going to be sent a ballot. Suppose to start mailing them Oct 5th.
During the primaries in NJ my friend went in to vote and was told without the mail in ballot she could only vote provisionally.
That’s what appears to be happening here. But it’s certainly disturbing that they haven’t cleaned up the registration rolls in over 14 years.
Hmm..you got me there. I never looked back at the beginning of the thread. Seems you are right, you started the thread and I responded. I apologize for my inaccurate accusation.
I won’t apologize for my original position. This is already a war, and I fully intend to stand up to these bullies whether you agree at whatever level or not.
I had to scroll back a couple of weeks, I had a run in with a butthead not long ago who did simply jump in and attack me when I made a comment to someone else, a situation where he had no business butting in and did, just to attack me`. For some reason I thought I was dealing with a similar situation. I made a mistake and didn’t keep track. Sorry
later
That crap better NOT happen here, after my 30+ years of voting.
I accept your gracious apology.
