Absentee

Spoke over the phone with Tiffany at the local Board of Elections.

I’m a registered voter in the County and I filled out the proper

Application for Absentee Ballot for the 2020 Presidential Election.

How can I get it to the right place? The website directing me is

too complicated and confuses me. I’m permanently disabled and

it would be convenient for me to e-mail it rather than send it by

the post office mail.

She gave me her e-mail address and said she would keep it on file

until it was time. So, I thanked her for her courteous assistance and

told her I had one more request. What would that be, she asked me?

Last time in 2016, I voted absentee and the wrong candidate won.

Anything you can do in the upcoming election to see that son-of-a-

bitch doesn’t win the next election too would be much appreciated.

You see, I’m old and disabled. And being that there are four years

between presidential elections, likely I won’t be voting in many more.

You know, I’d like to feel this time my vote counted for something.

Those last few lines were just an afterthought of mine. Actually,

Tiffany hung up after I had thanked her the first time.
