But you did get to vote! I am a snowbird, and spend time in the north (legal residence) and time in the south.

Prior to leaving the north, the wife and I filled out the paperwork for absentee ballots. Before we left for the south my wife's ballot request came back to our primary address marked "postage required". Apparently the envelope was run through the machine backwards as the cancellation was clearly on the back. To get back to my house, someone at the post office had to turn the envelope over to see the sender address, thereby exposing the correct postage.

We physically delivered the request to the voter services at the court house and showed them the cancelled envelope. Their response was, "the post office must have scanned it backwards". DUH, you think?

Now we are in the south, and she received her absentee ballot a week after we got here. Mine? Nothing for over 6 weeks so far. So, being the conspiracist I am and living in the battleground state of PA, I wonder if the postal union could be involved? It is PA after all!

T.L. You're absolutely spot on! My county is small as well and I take as a sign that the Democrat sheriff, as well as Clerk and Registrar switched parties this spring just before primaries. Being small, merit counts for more than party around here but I think they saw the Democrats as something to be distanced from?
