Absentee Ballots

Hi. Just want to make a suggestion in regards to absentee ballots. Naturally, of course, this is strictly my opinion. Not trying to sell anything:))

 

First of all, I do not want to be read as insulting anyones intelligence. So, here we go.

 

Some people believe that this type of ballot is only to be used if someone is away election i.e. voting day. Not so. Myself, have been applying for them for at least two weeks before voting. It's so convenient. Do not have to go to the polls, wait in line, or whatever. Just plain "git er done" at my convenience. Personally believe more citizens would be more apt to vote by using this process.

 

But. It is not wise to turn them in too early. As I just experienced. My intent was that I was all set to vote for a certain Candidate that is running for Governor.

 

But since he made a couple of public actions/statements, that I do not agree with, from a so called Professional, especially to be our possible leader, I have changed my mind and will certainly will change my vote which of course I would not be able to do, if I had turned in my Ballot.

 

I also want to interject one more thing. Received the following (partial note) from a friend of mine regarding this so called Candidate:

 

"This is exactly what he is like at a meeting.  He only wants to speak and will never listen to what other people have to say or is very unwilling to believe there could be another side to the story.  He only wants to talk, talk, talk.................he will never listen to the people of Maine".

 

Thank you very much.

Pappy.
