Yippeeeee! Found my absentee ballot packet in my mailbox just now.

Opened it and THERE SHE WAS, big as life!

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

Vote for One
__
/__/ Hillary Clinton

_____________________________________

Quite frankly, I didn't even notice who else was on the ballot! LOL!

There seemed to be several other names, but they didn't register on my consciousness.

I'll fill it out carefully tomorrow, and get it in the post by Monday afternoon.

My vote, to be counted on June 7, will help to solidify her already clear path to the nomination.

Made me go look in the mailbox! We got a teaser the other day that Oregon was getting ready to mail out ballots.

And, voilà ! It's now here.

Since I live in France, I'm always slightly concerned that they may neglect to put on enough postage. LOL!

They all count and getting a high vote turnout for the primaries will show well for the GE.

Both for a convincing convention and for enthusiasm in the GE.

I voted April 14, the first early voting day in MD. I actually got tears in my eyes as I filled in that little oval thingy by Hillary/s name.

MADAM PRESIDENT!
