First, YOU are the fool for calling out my sister!
Second, YOU don’t understand her circumstances, so calling someone a fool while not having all the facts makes YOU the fool.
Third, she sometimes is in state and sometimes out of state during elections. So filing a “permanent” absentee ballot request would not seem to be the best approach. But I guess in your omniscience, you must have already assessed that situation.
If she’s sometimes in and sometimes out she should definitely go for the permanent form, takes out all the guess work, the ballot will always be mailed to her and she can fill it out and mail it whether she’ll be here on election day or not. And really filling out the one shot form and expecting it to carry over is kind of silly, it’s the one shot form. And we also have early voting polling places, if she doesn’t want to do the mail and will be around near election time. There are many options, pick one and stop complaining about the results being exactly what the form said they’d be.
