1. That is why voting by mail should be an option in all states, along with early voting

which should include weekends

2. Completely agree that it should be, but until that's the case...

4. That's an old list (2008)...

everyone should check their own state elections offices to be sure.

Washington is now all vote by mail. The "time off" provision is kind of meaninglyess. I'm filling out my ballot today, will be in the drop box soon.
