Is voting dead in America? My wife and I will vote absentee, until they figure out how to take that away from us, too.

I'm with you, Shea. Mail-in ballots in this house too. And yes Mike, it is scary...and getting moreso every day...and it makes me extremely angry.

We've voted permanent absentee for years. I love the CA law - no hassle, just do it.

Republican Maryland Governor Bob Erlich has been back peddling lately because of voting problems in the state.

He's even called a special assembly of the MD legislator to pass a law to allow paper ballots for the up coming MD Governors election.

It almost sounds like a gimmick when you hear it in the local news. Just something to look out for.
