Secretary of State candidate wants county to add ballot boxes

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

EVERETT — The Democratic candidate for Secretary of State said some Snohomish County voters may sit out the election if they cannot afford the extra stamp needed to mail their ballots back.

Tina Podlodowski said she wants the county to install additional drop boxes and conduct a “comprehensive outreach plan” to let voters know they’ll need 68 cents postage rather than a single first class stamp.

While a second stamp isn’t a lot of money, she said for some voters it may be enough to deter them from participating. Hence the need to ensure there is a drop box nearby, Podlodowski said.

I live fairly close to a drop box and always have used it. Not because I'm too cheap to buy a stamp but because I get more piece of mind knowing my ballot goes directly to the county instead of languishing in the mail.
