Is anyone encouraging registered voters to vote by absentee ballot to create a paper trail that can be recounted? It's not too late to sign-up with your local board of elections via the internet for November's election.

Say! What about absentee voting!? It can be done in the privacy of one's very own home at the kitchen table!
With absentee voting, one can take all the time in the world!
Like the Dixiecrat declared, there's a paper trail with absentee voting!
Let's here it for absentee voting everybody!
Hip Hip Hooray!
Everybody vote absentee!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I got mine in the mail and didn't even ask for one. Kind of odd if you ask me. I'm going to use it because I live in FL and that's the only way to vote with a paper trail. I'm just worried they will lose it in the mail somewhere. These guys are career criminals, so I'm sure they will find a way to steal my vote this time too. If they do though I'll be looking for the crowds who have had it (like in Mexico)

Here in California you can drop your absentee ballot off at ant polling station on the day of the election. Saves on the worry that it was received in time.

Check into your own state's procedure.

Since your name is on the envelope, and poll workers check your name off as having received your absentee ballot, you can call anytime after the election to demand that they show you the list that they at least received it. If they didn't get it, sue to recast your ballot. As for counting your vote, there's not much verification once the ballot has been removed from the envelope, but at least the precinct has a piece of paper and the number of pieces of paper have to add up to and exactly match the number of registered names checked off for ballots received. We have to tackle this problem at the precinct level. If we can keep each precinct honest and accurate the entire state has a good chance of being accurate.
