Before I seal the envelope

I suppose it’s only fair to let you know how I’m voting on November 7.  Or do I mean for November 7?  After all, I’m a permanent absentee voter, so my ballot will be dropped into a mailbox and then wait at King County Elections until it’s tallied on (or, perhaps, after) next Tuesday.

However you want to think of it, below is presented the content of my ballot.  Strangely, federal offices are not the first section of the ballot.  No, it’s those damn state initiatives, followed by an amendment to the Washington constitution (why isn’t that ahead of the initiatives?) as well as some King County stuff.  I list the items in order of appearance on the page, with the occasional comment and/or link:

So now it’s the eve of the election, and some sort of quiet will descend. Tomorrow I’ll drop into my polling place and pick up a copy of the poll list to wake up anybody who hasn’t voted by 3:00p.m.

I live in one of those lovely precincts in Ballard. At the primary preference identification we had 98 Democrats, 11 Republicans, so I just make sure everybody votes.

The only thing that would make the day sweeter would be for Bush to choke on another goddam pretzel.
