Early And Often

Here in Oregon we don't have Election Day, we have Election Season. The polls opened yesterday and will close on November 7th, although for safety's sake, you'd better put your ballot in the mail a few days early. You can't count on the USPS.

There are advantages and disadvantages to voting by mail. On the plus side, it makes voting cheap and convenient. On the minus side, it makes vote fraud cheap and convenient. Register half a dozen times and you get half a dozen ballots, delivered to your doorstep, which you can fill out in the privacy of your own home. What could be simpler?

Tip to fraudsters: Don't forget to sign each envelope with a different name!

Like anyone checks.
