After a couple of elections dealing with the craziness of DC voting machines and polling places (they tell you you can't take a picture of yourself while standing in the ridiculously long line! Seriously?) I am not going to do it again. I'm getting back to the civilized way I was raise: fill out your paper mail-in at the kitchen table while drinking a cup of cocoa. You can take your time and fill it out gradually over a couple of days while you think about different races. I can either mail it in by November 4 or turn it in to any polling place on election day. So I can still visit a polling place if I want to but I won't have to stand in line.
Here's my new ballot:
Now that's what an election should look like! Not this (from the Washington Post):
