I considered that. But I use a system called Ballot Trax which will let me know when mine has been received. If it isn't in a week, I will alert the registrar and request a new ballot. I kinda wanted to test the system.

Ballot arrived today! Marked YES, signed the envelope, put in a nearby postbox. Easy peasy. Did you know that voting ASAP helps the YES on 50 campaign operate more efficiently? Plus it will take you off the list for calls and door knocks. Win/win. And speaking of winning, let’s DO IT Californians!

A must read - Today's substack by @danpfeiffer.bsky.social. "If handled right, the huge media spotlight on the shutdown is an opportunity to show voters that Democrats are fighting to lower health-care costs for American families — and to act as a check on Trump’s power." bit.ly/4hay493

New NYT Poll Shows How Dems Can Win the Shutdown - and the Majority
