My very first post at DU

Finally got around to joining DU today. I've been a dedicated reader for years, but I am the king of procrastination. Got my ballot in today's mail, filled it out, voted for Kamala Harris & Tim Walz, then dropped the completed ballot off a the the Post Office. Vote early and by mail if you are able. Our countrys' future depends on it.

I was hoping I’d get my ballot today since it was mailed on the 9th. If I don’t get it Monday I’ll call and check on it.

As someone else who is very new here, take the time to look around at the subforums, too. There is something there for nearly everyone.

I hope that this site looks as good on the inside as it does on the outside!

Whatever hobbies you have, there's probably a group that promotes them! I belong to the Photo Group and it's a blast.

Here's the link, in case you're interested: https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1036

It's a friendly place with great photos to view.

I drop mine off at the County Clerk's office, or the strong-as-hell drop box in front of the office --- Before quitting/pickup time.

Every vote counts, even if not every count votes.

I vote early, but in person. There's nothing that will satisfy me more than going into the voting booth and filling out the form for our next president Kamala Harris and all the down ballot Democrats I'll vote for as well.

Glad you're here - and while I don't claim to speak for anybody here, I think it's fair to say we're happy that you decided to make it official!

THANK YOU for voting, as well!

makes ya feel good. I submitted my vote a week ago. I'm monitoring the ballot all the way to the end of being counted. In our state, we can scan a QR code that came with the absentee ballot to get an immediate status of our ballots. And FYI, you must have your vote notarized. I felt absolutely great as soon as I dropped it off at the post office, inside. I eliminated as much tampering as possible, going this route.

GO HARRIS/WALZ
