Would you vote by absentee ballot if "Dem" were on the envelope? |
|
Please help people, I need some feedback on this.
In NC (Union County, heavily fundie repuke) my party affiliation is listed under my name, in two separate places on the envelope.
It also has impossible to decipher questions on the envelope and says they must be answered or the vote won't count.
I am thinking of scrapping this idea and doing the bbv thing, now.

Once you get a mail-in ballot, you must use it and cannot vote on election day. Some you have to go through hoops to do it. You should check NOW.

Seems kind of weird. You might be able to do early voting instead, if they have it there. Don't throw away your ballot. They'll want you to return it, before they let you vote in another method (prevents people from casting multiple votes). Bring it with you when you go to vote.

4. Unless you are the only democrat in the area |
|
(often even in heavy repub areas - 30-45% are dems - if there is a population of say, 10,000 that still leaves a whole lot of declared demorats in the area)... I would go ahead and vote this way. To do so sends the message that you and others are not going to be intimidated (harder to intimidate when there is a decent number in the opposition.) In addition, after reading the Nevada story (where torn up shreds of registrations of democrats were found - leaving evidence of malfeasance) - documents were party is dedicated in more than one place are harder to completely destroy, there for the evidence of the vote - and/or of real fraud are easier to find/detect.
Just my 2 cents.
