Election Time

August 19, 2008

I voted today, Washington Primary.
We now have a top 2 primary, and you don’t have to choose a party – YEAH.
But in our County, there is only one more election where you will be able to stroll up to your neighborhood polling place and cast your vote in person.
Come February 2009 they are going to all mail.
I am not in favor of this move.
I like the voting Event. Especially presidential elections where there is a buzz in the air.
I think voting by mail is ripe for undue persuasion away from the prying eyes of the poll workers.
My two cents.
But 70% of our count already votes by mail (I don’t know if that is how people are registered, or if that is the percentage of those actually voting). We’ll see how it goes.
