VOTE BY MAIL

Just wanted to encourage everyone to apply for an absentee ballot. Minnesota has no-excuse absentee ballot meaning anyone can get an absentee ballot for any reason. You should apply for an absentee ballot for a few reasons:

1) you shorten the lines at the polls Nov 7th

2) you have the entire day to volunteer

3) it's easier. The ballot box comes directly to you

4) all the cool kids do it.

5) if something comes up and you are gone Nov 7th you will still have voted. My parents were out of town election day 2004 because of a famliy emergency but had already voted absentee (because of reasons 1 to 4) so they still were able to vote
