I've already voted.
I actually voted a couple of weeks ago. I hate mailed ballots (I'll do anything to avoid mailing stuff--it's pathological), so I arranged to meet T one evening and physically do the early voting thing. She and I have been seeing quite a bit of each other and it seemed like a nice kind of date where we could take a stroll with her dog after. Things didn't go perfectly. It turns out she had signed up for mail-in voting and wasn't eligible to join me in exercising my franchise. But I found that, while the touch-screen machine was slow (you vote, review your votes on the screen, then review the votes on a printout), it was a snap and I felt confident my vote was clearly recorded.
Here's the other thing about why I don't mail in my ballot: I really enjoy the whole deal of going to the polls, saying hello to the election workers, the whole ceremony. I hope they never do away with it.
