"Renaissance Thinking About the Issues of Our Day"
The Democratic base is unenthusiastic this year. Does that describe you? If so, maybe on one of those days that you're feeling more fired-up than usual, get an absentee ballot. You can get one from your local Board of Elections. I was able to download the application from their website. (You're going to be out-of-state on Nov. 2nd, right?) They mailed me my Absentee Ballot. It's a PAPER ballot! I filled it out and will be mailing it in October. I not voting Tuesday November 2nd. No long lines. No suspect electronic voting machine.
Before November even comes near, I will have already voted against the Teapublicans with a paper ballot. You should, too.
