I really came close to forgetting that tomorrow is 2008 election day 2.0 (not to be confused with election day 1.0, back on "Super Tuesday," or election day 3.0 in November). I hope to beat my record for fewest voters in a precinct. I was the 9th and final voter one year. That is: only 9 people turned out to vote in that particular election, at that particular polling place. Thanks for the reminder.

Matt,

However, I can fill out the ballot that is mailed to me, and then drop it off at my local polling place, which I also enjoy, as long as it's not too crowded. I suspect it won't be very crowded there tomorrow.

What I do is mail back the request for the ballot and they send it to me so I can vote from home. Easy and on my time. Although this Novemeber I may stroll down to the local ballot box for the full effect of what I hope to be a historical election. Yep, in the no and no camp as well.
