I got my absentee ballot about two weeks ago and sent it back the next day. I voted a straight Democrat ticket except for our congressional rep. Although the Republican incumbent is too cozy with Shrub for my taste, neither Gaile or I think his Democrat opponent is worth the powder to blow him up. She voted for the incumbent, I voted for the Green Party candidate.

In Michigan, being over age 60 is one of the reasons allowed for voting absentee, so we don't even have to lie about it, although we'll be out of the state for the winter as of next week anyway
