I hear all sorts of pros for mail-voting — reduces intimidation, provides equal access, etc… Some of those reasons are valid, but you can find compelling arguments the other way.

Oh, and just saw a PI blog post where they asked readers if they’d miss voting in person. Responses seemed evenly split.

The one that got my attention, though, was the person who said voting should be by mail because it’s more green:

In this eco-friendly environment where we’re being urged to use less oil, driving to a polling place is ecologically irresponsible.

Uh…. right.

Anyways, I’ll miss it. But I’ll try to make the best of the mail-in experience, too.

Any idea how turn out is effected by mail in?

I did ride to vote too. Usually I walk, but today I was in a hurry.
