Well, plus my real job is trying to convince folks how to vote on certain issues and candidates. I have campaigns here in WA state (rare that I do something in the home state), Oregon and California. Most of what I do is in Cali -- things like most every statewide ballot prop, getting people to vote for Austrian-born body builders, and lots of local issues. Plus, the world's largest retailer is one of my clients. I've also done stuff for clients in NJ, MA, KY, IA, MO, FL, TX, NM, MI, OH, AZ, NV, UT, ID, MN, ME and prolly some others I don't remember. I try to do issues rather than candidates: issues don't have egos.
So the election season is a pretty busy time...and right after the election I have to file a bunch of paperwork in a very short period of time. Since the guy who owns the business (and there are just three of us who work here) is currently in Alexandria, Egypt, and will be cruising through the Red Sea on election day, there ain't no Louisville for me -- I'll be the one in Seattle getting ducks in a row.
As for doing voting by mail, I think you should have the opportunity, but I am opposed to doing it like OR, where they are ALL mail-in ballots. I think there is still something to be said for going to the polling place and invoking your right to vote.
