2. Go Cali. Glad I live here.

14. me too

3. Hallelujah!!

California leads the way!!

[rownesheck]

4. California is always

leading the way, and in my opinion, a shining example of how a state should be run in this country. Sure they have problems, but would you rather live in Texas?

I live in Texastan and I saw a moron with a t- shirt that read, "Don't California my Texas!". That's the dipshittery we deal with out here.

8. Umm, not exacting leading

But great nevertheless! Oregon was the first state for all mail-in and we've been using mail in ballots since 1998. And talk about leading the way, we were the first state to require bottle deposits, first to allow doctor assisted suicide and first in the marijuana legalization laws.

10. I stand corrected

Thank you for saying so. Even better news!
You aren’t alone and wouldn’t it be great to get some momentum?

19. Texas is a shithole - physically and mentally

speaking as someone who knows Austin and Texas very well

5. Sweeeeeet... Cali should be the model for how the entire country votes!!

6. Voting CAN be so easy, and so secure and why can't this be universal in a nation with

the wealth and expertise of America?? Each voting packet might come with a note….this package contains the contents of what we won for you and the world in WW 2.

Oh, yeah…the fascists….

7. This is great news

When I lived in California, they made voting so easy and convenient. Now it is even better!

9. This should be the case for all states

Our current underfunded and patchwork system is backward and outdated

[msfiddlestix]

11. YES! I've been watching this policy evolve for sometime and I'm one happy camper

I used to look forward to going to the polls to cast my ballot. It was a ritual I cherished and took some measure of pride doing.

I was even a poll worker for several years. But things changed, and I whole heartily approve of this development being official.

12. Good on ya CA!

However, 1 step forward, 33 steps backwards doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the process.

13. This could happen even sooner

with the Trumper morons threatening poll workers with body harm.

[Hekate]

15. I've been voting by mail for quite a few years now. Or we take it to the dropbox. SO easy.

Happy in California.

[Demovictory9]

16. I vote in person, just because, but love that i have the options

[Hekate]

17. I really used to like the civic ritual, but moving an hour away from our former county unmoored me

I never did find my new polling place, but as we are only a few miles away from the County admin center and its dropbox, it was very convenient.

I have two friends who used to volunteer at the polling places — retired ladies doing their bit, election after election. But once Trump’s bully-boys started walking in and standing over them, it was not fun any more, and didn’t feel safe, either. So they don’t do it any more.

20. Hope they do better then they did in 2020 election ... I got FIVE ballots

in the mail and my brother didn't get even one!
