Tonks:

I called your state when I was working on Hillary's campaign. Don't 
you have to take the ballot and drop it off at set places if you 
didn't mail it ahead. I don't like the idea. I think many people 
would forget to turn it in. In my state we just go somewhere close 
to where we live and for me at least there are not long lines. I 
like that better. Give more of a sense of unity. Like having to do 
you taxes on April 15th. Remember when they wanted us to pay at 
different times of the year and we all said NO!  We want to have a 
sense of being united as one nation. I like that. It is bad enough 
that in my state, and I think some others, your driver license and 
tabs expire on your birthday. What a bummer is that!
