But if you live in a Super Tuesday State, GO VOTE!
Is that non-political enough?

I am a permanent main-in voter but put off voting until yesterday (just too busy to deal with it early). You can drop off your sealed ballot at a polling place. Imagine my surprise when I opened my ballot yesterday and found that I had received the wrong ballot - not my registered party ballot. So I had to go to the polls after work yesterday but I managed to leave my ballot at work. So I had to get a new ballot for the correct party, and it had to be a conditional ballot since I didn't have my original ballot to return. I was the fun one last night. My vote probably won't be counted for weeks, but if a race is decided by one vote, I will know that it was mineI live in Ca, and have used the mail in ballot option for years. It makes it so easy to vote.
I voted by mail in 2016. Never again and I live in California. I know for a fact my vote wasn’t counted as the dang post office delivered my mail in ballot to my home a week after the election.I live in Ca, and have used the mail in ballot option for years. It makes it so easy to vote.
Not our USPS. You must be kidding.I voted by mail in 2016. Never again and I live in California. I know for a fact my vote wasn’t counted as the dang post office delivered my mail in ballot to my home a week after the election.
We just got sample ballots in the mail (2 wks b4 the election).
There's a lot of dinky little races that we know nothing about.
Yes, we have to declare out loud which ballot we want. I mind this much less than stating my name and birthdate out loud at doc office check-in.I'm likely to skip this primary vote because our area uses mail in ballots. Some genius decided to add the box designating Democrat or Republican to the outside of the envelope where our names are for all to see. I don't want to reveal how I vote , its no-bodys business. They justify this by saying that you can vote for who ever you want in the general election. If we don't check a political group our vote will not count. If we do pick a political group, any one that can see the envelope can see which party preference we chose.

That's disappointing. We have been successfully absentee mail voting in Calif. for many years. There are also ballot drop boxes at libraries and city halls that can circumvent your frustration with the USPS, or having to wait for election day and go directly to the ballot tally location. We submitted ours in a box in front of City Hall on the weekend before Super Tuesday.I voted by mail in 2016. Never again and I live in California.

I totally agree with you. When we lived in California, I did not want to use USPS to deliver but instead took my ballot directly to the drop off boxes.That's disappointing.

I'm jealous. We don't see candidates here, part of the invisible country that doesn't vote early.In NH, we had the wild, wild west show - all candidates in! But those who are registered independents can vote in either Democrat or Republican primary by "declaring" that day. Then they can finish voting and re-register as an Independent. Definitely quirky but, hey, it's NH. The good news is that it is really easy to meet virtually any candidate personally (except for incumbents, in general). Met Bill Clinton in our town center and John McCain at the local VFW (with 10 other people). Always nice to see the personal side.
We can only vote in person or absentee ballot but I love the in person option. And I am thrilled at the voter turnouts everywhere!
