We in many parts of this county have no choice other than to vote by Absentee Ballot.
A couple of years ago I called the county clerk in Bakersfield and she assured me that the Absentee Ballots were counted first. Now I am not so sure.
You have no choice but to vote absentee?? Why is that? In my opinion, nobody should even be allowed to vote absentee that cannot show good cause. Military obviously have no choice, and procedures for college students should be somewhat standardized. People who have to be away on business or for family reasons or due to serious illness or hospitalization, and some who are handicapped also have valid reason. But just for the convenience, no. I don't think that is acceptable. Too many variables. This is what has happened here as a result of mailout campaigns actually soliciting requests for absentee ballots...a very bad idea.
