I told her I was writing myself in, and there was nothing she could do to stop me now.

Our presidential ballot this year was a bit boring:

Joachim Gauck
Conservatives, Social Democrats, Liberals, Greens

Beate Klarsfeld
Commies

Olaf Rose
Nazis

The first guy got 80% of the vote, with another 8.5% abstentions.

Well the President of Germany is an office with crazy amounts of power, I can see why the major parties are fighting tooth and nail for it.

I only got the Spanish version of my sample ballot btw. It's ok, I can read it. But heh.

What do you get sample ballots for?

Because there are dozens and dozens of votes on any one ballot and it is nice to have so you can read up on the issues you are going to be voting for.

I just looked at my sample ballot and there is a party called Conservative and a party called Working Families. For each, their candidates are nearly identical to Republican and Democrat respectively. What a waste of space.

That's one of the advantages of mail-in ballots. In Washington, we do all elections by mail.

Horribly inefficient and rude staff. If they were a private business they'd have been replace a long time ago.
