Dear anna- if you're grown up, you can make up your own mind. My pa was fairly right-wing republican- it didn't mean that I have to be.

Mbo, until I retired I worked at the Division of Elections. Trust me, it isn't difficult to vote absentee. Up until 5 o'clock the day before the election you can request an absentee ballot by fax, up until 8 o'clock of Election Day you can walk into any elections office and vote an absentee 'questioned' ballot (Which simply means that your votes will not count for the candidates of the district you are in, but your presidential preference will be valid)- no excuses.
