i think one can track your WA ballot online

We dropped off ours today, the drop box is conveniently located in front of city hall and the library and I pass by there twice a day. Why spend money on stamps? We never use them, and pay for everything online. It's actually fun to vote so early. I got two calls today from people telling me who to vote for and enjoyed saying "you're too late, we already voted" and then hang up.

Both are easy but these days finding a stamp and finding a post office is just as easy as finding a dropbox at least in Washington state. In smaller towns this could be different but overall either way it is quite easy to vote by mail or drop box.

Why spend money on gas if you don't live/work in walking distance to drop box (not to confused with the lock box)?
I was challenging your statement that more people drop box than postal mail.

Actually, someone else said that, not me. If I had to guess, more probably are mailing it, with some dropping it at the post office the last day.

I guess that you don't actually know anything about how ballots are counted. It is a secure process and bipartisan observers are present.

Nobody other than that buffoon Trump really thinks that there is any electoral skullduggery.

I am filling out my ballot now. There is no third party option..only Inslee and Bryant. I would consider myself far right wing yet I am actually voting for Jay Inslee! I disagree with him on every issue across the board yet am getting a tingle of excitement as I vote for him. I am punishing Bill Bryant (who had no chance anyway) for not supporting Donald Trump. I prefer Democrats to anti-Trump establishment Republicans.

Washington is a top two primary state for state offices.

You MUST vote for third party candidates in the primary for them to advance to the General Election in November.

IF people voted for third party candidates in the primary the political system in Washington state would quickly improve....doesn't matter left or right, just not D or R.
