I see I have to explain it a little bit. I HAVEN'T REQUESTED ONE. That is why they keep sending me the stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t have to explain anything...You are claiming that you have been sent 3 applications unsolicited...emphasis on the word claiming.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted September 28, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted September 28, 2020 Its only an absentee ballot application. This is not the concern like "mail in ballots" where everyone gets one and can vote with what they receive. I assume you still need to fill it out and ask for one.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted September 28, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted September 28, 2020 All American's need to understand the risk of even absentee ballots. Besides the 3%+ that the post office loses (if mailed) you risk your ballot being destroyed the more people that handle it. If you vote absentee you are better off dropping it at the appropriate place in person. The best way of knowing your vote is counted still is voting in person.

F3600 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I have received 2 and my Wife 1. We got the same ones from the MN AG (Dem). Again, this is a request for an absentee ballot, not a ballot itself. I opened it to look it over and honestly, there was so much to fill out, only to get a the actual absentee ballot, and have to fill it out again will be too much for the people who they think they are making it easier for.
