We do voting by mail, and I haven't found anyone yet here at work that has received a ballot.

Seems odd... In Oregon we get our ballots a couple weeks before election day, thought you guys did too?

Are you saying the people you asked at work are registered voters but didn't receive a ballot?

Try several of your friends. Facebook is a great way to get the DOB. We tried a bunch of people, and none of them had their vote counted yet. Maybe we're just being too impatient. Our votes certainly won't change the state's national elections, but it's annoying that we're not allowed to influence the local elections where we can make a difference.

I received my ballot about 3 weeks ago. And sent it in the mail the next day.
My husband received one too.
