In Yakima County all voting is by mail. It is actually a pretty good deal as you do not have to go to the polls and you can vote anytime in about a three week span from the time you get your ballot until election day.
The biggest perk, perhaps, is that once you have voted you can just ignore the negative ads that seem to crop up as the campaign gets closer to election day.
We did not watch a lot of the debates but what parts we did see just confirmed what I already suspected--the persons who would be the best president or the best governor are not on the ballot.
Still I am glad we do live in a country where we can vote and otherwise participate in the election process.
Here is a chance to share a few things with family and those who might be interested in my musings.

I share your feelings about the people on the ballot, I guess we just do the best with what we have. That is cool that you just vote by mail, I have never heard of that before. We just went and stood in line for 30 minutes to vote early-I can't imagain what the lines would be like on Nov. 4
I haven't heard of either voting by mail or voting early. Franklin County only has one contested race & everyone seems stumped about the national election. I doubt the general election will have a very big turnout. This is the first year my mom hasn't been an election judge in about 40 years.
