One thing I learned tonight as a PA voter is that...

[JoeOtterbein]

...I will vote by absentee ballot in all future elections. They are harder to flip@!

[Freedomofspeech]

1. You are right...

My husband and I said the same thing. I do not trust one thing from Westmoreland County.

2. I do it in California, all the time, but from my understanding it is much more difficult to do in

Pennsylvania. I believe in Pennsylvania you have to give a reason why you cannot vote in person. In California, you can setup as a permanent absentee ballot, and no reason is required

[JoeOtterbein]

5. Yes, but for most of us the reason we can't vote in person is because we have to work...

...and for Dems it is even more true because we need the bucks!

14. Last time I set mine up from Texas

You had to provide an address outside our district for the registrar to send you an absentee ballot.

That having been said, my precinct in Dallas has been absolutely unfailing in getting my German address right and sending me the ballots in a timely manner every time.

3. Yup.Paper ballots will preserve our democracy.

4. In Canada we only have paper ballots.

6. How long does it take to get results?

[arthritisR_US]

8. Voting stations close at 8 PM and results start being reported by

media within 1/2 hr. You have to realize that we have voting precincts located, at most, 4blocks from where we live.

12. Looks as if you have a really good system. As long as

the U.S. voting results were reliable, I wouldn't care if it took a week.

[arthritisR_US]

13. Unless it is blowout our results dont

definitely come in until 11 PM or midnight. The concession speeches and acceptance speeches then follow.

[FM123]

7. Yep. As a Floridian, I learned that absentee is best for me!

[mountain grammy]

9. Mail in paper ballots in Colorado..

before that I always requested absentee.

[RandomAccess]

10. Not so fast --

They can be "lost," mislaid, forgotten, ignored, etc.

California in particular has had a lot of problems with them in the past.

In my own case -- in GA -- I've requested ballots in plenty of time that nevertheless didn't arrive until election day or after, which renders my vote completely irrelevant.

BEST is to demand we all get paper ballots, hand counted in full public view.

[JoeOtterbein]

11. I have always demanded paper ballots and third-party audits. The problem in PA...

...where I vote, all I see is a computer screen. After that nothing. No paper nothing. At least with a absentee ballot, I have a chance to be recounted.

[RandomAccess]

15. No, I don't mean just you, just when YOU are casting a vote

I mean start demanding paper ballots for ALL Of us, EVERYWHERE, but starting especially with YOUR state since that's where you are. Tell them it's the best way to guard against Russian interference.
