Voting

I vote absentee, even if I actually go to the polling location to drop off my completed ballot.

What I find strange is the idea of not knowing how you'll vote until you get to the poll. I always go through my sample ballot to figure out how I'll vote and mark my choices in there sometime earlier.

Which reminds me of a pet peeve of mine, which is voter turnout drives. I don't see how it helps democracy if uninformed people vote. The ideal would be for everyone to inform themselves and then vote, but I think that uninformed voters do a lot of harm. I will let you draw your own conclusions about how this relates to the last two elections.
