I can't quite match that, but upon completing my very LONG & detailed mailed Colorado ballot, my sweet pup gave it a little kiss for good luck for Kamala & Tim before I sealed it up and took it to the secured drop box.

So, come on folks, get your non-politically-addicted friends and family to an early voting site (and make sure they are well informed beforehand! ) Don't let my little furry girl down!

Thanks to our SOS I had to sign an affidavit that I was authorized to drop my husbands ballot without him being there….even though the folks at the BOE have seen me do this twice a year for 25 years. Disgusting!

My husband and I (we’re pikers at just 45 years of marriage) brought our voted ballots to the county registrar’s office last Friday after mailing my 450 postcards to voters. Signs were posted prohibiting electioneering. As we walked away from the drop box, a woman walked to the slot, dropped her ballot and, with a sly smile, put her palms together and looked to the heavens. Then as we walked down the corridor another couple approached, tapped their ballots and smiled broadly. No electioneering, but lots of hope and joy. We all knew!

Our daughter and son-in-law early voted on the second day polls were open here in New Mexico. There were no lines, but many voters. My daughter said it was all smiles and felt like a party.

I’m happy I live in a blue area!
