Sometimes outside help can be useful. Many times, it is not. This instance is the latter and it is potenitally damaging. Today Mrs. Ghost and I both received mailers from the Alliance for America's Future, which is a group operated by Dick Cheney's daughter, Mary. The mailer encourages you to go to a personalized website so you can get an absentee ballot. Click on the image to the right for a full view. The trouble is that at least in my County, an absentee ballot has to be mailed out five days ahead of time, which is Thursday. How likely is it that if you fill out the on-line form that your election board will be able to mail out the ballot in time? Not likely. However, you might THINK that you are getting one, and fail to vote. Vote. PLEASE vote, but at this point, go to an early voting location or show up on election day. Just ignore this mailer.
