[operation clinton cleanup]

I was going to volunteer to be a poll watcher for Hamilton county, but I could not get the day off and I have only 2.44 hours of vacation on the books. I was stunned and amazed the provisional ballots have been shot down if you are not in your precinct. Call me stupid, but isn't absentee ballots for if you are not in your home precinct on election day?

Wow. You need a better vacation system. I'm taking election day off on my comp time. I won't even have to use a leave day. I'm saving those for when Tyler is here.

Mu understanding about absentee balloting is that it is supposed to be for the military and for people who know ahead of time that they will be out of their areas on election day. They aren't used that way anymore though. Now they're used as a matter of convenience and there are large scale efforts made by both parties, but especially by democrats, to solicit absentee ballot applications.
