It's already starting in San Francisco

The first direct campaign mail pieces arrived this week and early voting doesn't begin until October. There's nothing like the struggle to pull a stack of literature before you even get to your real mail. I'm thinking of collecting it all to see how much accumulate by November 8.

Or for local elections?

I hate direct mail too, although I used to put political mail up on my political memorabilia wall when I had one.

There are always a few of those on every ballot. We've had some bad laws due to those.

I doubt we'll get much presidential ads. We never do.

And weigh it. In June it was 3 lbs. I look forward to finding out how much the weight will be November 8th.
