Just so you know:
If you’re suddenly hospitalized, you can still vote.
I was in the hospital on the day of the primary, and missed voting. A friend told me later that Board of Elections volunteers will bring ballots to anyone in hospitals. Hospital didn’t tell me this!

you do NOT have to be hospitalized

if you call you local Registrar Of Voters office, inform them that you are a “shut-in” person, and ask them, they should send a Deputy Registrar Of Voters to your house to help you vote

in California, this service is available for 29 days before the election

I know this because I’ve been a deputy Registrar of voters in the past, and I’ve done this type of work before

Was that a troll I saw a few comments above. Do. Not. Feed.

Well, that was probably referring to me. I am not a troll but I would love to hear your justification for a vote on torture and kangaroo courts. Election year politicking? Business as usual? The last thread dealt with NARAL’s hypocrisy. Is Sherrod Brown’s any different?

Not only Menendez, but also Lautenberg voted for the torture bill.

That’s why I have a Rush Holt, but no Bob Menendez sign in my front yard.

But I will vote for Menendez (this one time) for only one reason – he’s on the Democratic ticket. That said, anyone who voted for Military Commissions has a two stike count and a high fastball on the way.
