5. I'm in the Netherlands

My ballot is from the California 1st district (we're number one!) and it's basically the same as those in the rest of the state with the exception of county measures T, V, and W, and Mike Thompson is on the ballot, among others.

4. Don't bet your paycheck onit!

In the most recent Florida primary held just a few weeks aogo, a 6,000+ group of absentee ballots were found to have been counted TWICE! Absentee ballots can be lost, destroyed, not counted, or double counted to suit the fraud of the day.

I hope NONE of this happens, but don't be lulled into security by a false belief.

8. Great! I'm getting mine off on Monday.

I'm still feeling all warm and fuzzy about voting actually. I missed being old enough for the last election by a few months.
