Also, if this asshole ends voting by mail in Colorado, there are going to be a whole lot of absolutely LIVID people.

Voting by mail is so nice too. I voted in person in NJ a few years back and I ended up waiting for ~2 hours after work. Now I vote by mail and waste no time.

Yeah, the idea of being able to sit there, quietly, at your own house and fill out your form at your own leisure and research each proposal is great.

research each proposal

There’s nothing stopping you from researching each proposal before going to vote at a polling place. The items on the ballot are not secret.

It’s very worrying to me how many times I have seen this.

Yeah, and with mail-in I can take my time and do all of it at home. No need to try to memorize which way to vote on what or take some crib sheet with me.

It’s a delight.

Especially when the questions are written in a way to make your second-guess your choice.
