I Remember
Paying to Vote
On Election Day 2005, the silly citizens of Spokane County approved Proposition 1, Vote by Mail. I have never voted by mail. I prefer to take the time and make the effort to go to my polling station to do my civic duty.
I really hate the thought that I now have to mail in my vote. How much voter fraud will happen because people don't have to actually physically go to the polls? I know they do Vote by Mail in other states, but I don't care. I don't want to.
We received ballots a few days ago for the stupid Mayoral Recall. I was looking at the contents today.
I pulled out the envelope I am to send my ballot back in and discovered (outrageous!) that to vote, I have to pay for a stamp. The post office won't deliver it without a stamp.
I thought poll taxes were disallowed? My taxes already pay for the County Auditor and the whole election process. I shouldn't have to pay $.37 for my vote to count.
Yes, I can physically take my ballot to the county auditor's office, but then why not just have polling places?
