OK. Last week I filled out my absentee ballot, put it in the envelope, stuck a stamp on it and marched it out to the mailbox, inserted it into the mailbox and put the little red flag thingie up. Pretty exciting! (I live in WA, where most voting is done by mail).

OK, I live in WA state also and I will NEVER trust the Post Office to get my ballot to where it is supposed to go. I hear verified reports every election (it seems) that a month or two after the election is certified, ballots are found in some "corner" of the postal sorting facility, mostly in conservative areas. Yes, I would like the convenience of mail-in ballots, but abhor the security of it. If my precinct goes "main-in only" then I will fill it out and deliver it myself to the County elections office!!!

I am in a very mixed precinct and showed up at my normal 7am time right when the polls opened and I was in line for about 50 minutes. Wish I could get a solid read on Red/Blue support by my gut tells me that it was mostly Red.

My husband and I did early voting in Arizona (hopefully RED) and sent our ballots in about two weeks ago. I got nervous about the mail and decided to call today to check on them.

I found out that you could go to the county recorder website, input your info including your voter ID to find out the status of your vote. When we did it, we found that the recorder had noted our votes were received. I now feel much better!!

I would encourage any other early voters to do the same.
