Early and Often

I received my absentee ballot in the mail yesterday.

I was so excited. I came right upstairs, ripped open the envelope, and sat right down to vote. I signed my name to the envelope and sealed it up. Civic duty completed, I went on with my day feeling nice and smug.

Today, I received another absentee ballot in the mail.

Same name, same address, identical ballot.

It seems that the St. Louis Board of Elections has adopted the old Chicago saying, Vote early and vote often.
