Florida Democrats Vote by Mail in Big Numbers

http://southfloridareporter.com/florida-democrats-voting-mail-big-numbers/

Sent mine in on Wednesday. While I was filling it out, I got a call from the local party office telling me it was not too late to request a ballot! Done. There is a big push by Democrats in Florida to get out the votes. All Hillary ads on TV.

One advantage to voting by mail? You won't have to get harassed by Trump supporters at the polls if you live in a Red area.

7am-7pm, any of the early voting sites in your County, need ID with sig -- ie FL DL or ID.

PSA over!

A bunch of us from work are voting together next Saturday and then going to lunch to celebrate HRC.

I like to keep tradition and vote on election day. Almost always with my mother. That said, I love the mail in vote. I also offer time off to my employees on election day. If they have a bigger role they can take the day off paid.

So excited to vote for HRC - our first woman president and a leader we can be proud of.

I mailed mine on Wednesday before I flew up to NY. Thought it would get there quicker while still in Florida.

Hubby and I were delighted to send them in...and to vote NO on BS amendment that would give Florida Power & Light more control over solar.

but did note Yes on Medical Marijuana. I've seen far too many Seniors get hooked on narcotics after surgeries.
