Remember to tell your friends, neighbors and co-workers that without a paper trail, there's nothing to prevent massive voter fraud at the polls this November. After the fold is the beginnings of my table of absentee voter rules, dates and links. If you do go absentee, it's best to drop off your absentee ballot in person on November 2nd and mention to the pollworkers why you're doing this. The normal number of absentee voters is small enough that a small number of us switching to absentee can make a huge impact on election officials.
