Absentee voting

I told a bit of a white lie last week when I told certain family members that I have already voted. It actually didn’t get sent off until yesterday. This time I was sent an email with pages to print out for the ballot and the signed form that has to be included with it. It wasn’t too hard to do although I ended up doing a bit of cutting and pasting of address and envelope labels. Actually the worst part was trying use packing tape to stick the labels onto the envelopes since it was hard to find the end it took some time to get the tape without it splitting. It cost me almost $3 to send it from here, which seems a lot more expensive than the last time I did this. The previous time they sent me pre-printed information by mail and had a smaller envelope that wasn’t covered with tape. :)

I was hoping that Game Fanatic would vote too, but it’s pretty much impossible for him because he doesn’t have a last place resided in the US. In some states children can use the parent’s voting address but that’s not the case for Texas. I now regret changing my address to Texas because North Carolina does allow it.

    I never thought about “last place resided” being an issue for citizens voting from overseas, but now that you mentioned it, it does make sense.
