Another argument against absentee ballots and having to show up at a polling place, with an ID.

First, I would say this....most would call their momma and ask her to send stamps. Second, they might go to Amazon and order stamps (paying a $6 charge on the purchase order of ten stamps). Or they might be brilliant enough to just go to the Post Office web site and order 20 stamps via them.

The way that the kid will resolve this? If in a out-of-state university situation....they will go and register in that state (most common approach).

Someone should do a poll because I imagine that 50-percent of college kids don’t vote.

Why should the vote of a person that ignorant count anyway?

If they don’t know where to get a stamp, they are too stupid to vote.

They should create a college course on that. Why not, they have courses on every other ridiculous libtard phenomenon, why not for something with real meaning and purpose.

I think mine have postage paid on them, not sure. I buy my stemps online at the USPS site, get a better choice there usually and much more convenient. They do charge some for shipping and handling but worth it.

But I sure know how to find a post office. Hate waiting in a line if I don't have to.

I don’t know about that being very common. Here in Western NC, students from UNCA were sitting in a restaurant openly bragging about voting both here in NC and sending an absentee ballot in to their home state. IMHo, that’s probably pretty common among the dumbazz SJW set.

Back in the seventies we did not have early voting in Texas. I voted from a drilling rig in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea where I worked. I informed the registrar of voters where I would be, and to mail the ballot to the drilling rig via the address of the Helicopter company that serviced our rig. The ballot came to the rig, I voted and put a Norwegian stamp that I had bought on land on the ballot. I put it in the rig mailbox and I thus voted.

Reagan won!

Initially, I thought surely they are not that ignorant.

But, then I remembered that I physically mail maybe 1 or 2 items PER YEAR. I don’t even know what the current postal rate is, as I have a few ‘forever’ stamps. Most of my communications are via websites and email. Most of my ‘bills’ are electronic and so are my payments.

A few years ago, I recall trying to write out a physical check and had almost forgotten how to fill in the blanks. Mostly I use a credit card, pay it off each month, and collect a little bonus points cash a few times a year.

They'll probably be pushing pretty soon to be able to tweet their votes in...

I bet there are college kids today who have never properly addressed and mailed a letter before in their lives.

They probably wouldn't know what that red-white-&-blue thing is in this stamp commemorating the first moon landing...

Heaven help us if these kids ever learn how to work a postage stamp.
