A voting booth stands, Nov. 2, 2010 at a polling place in Tacoma, Wash. Pierce County is the only county in the state of Washington with traditional voting locations still in use, as the rest of the state votes entirely by mail or by dropping completed ballots off at drop-box locations.

I voted by mail this year. It allowed me to research the people and the topics as I filled in my ballot. I think it should be done in every state. How do you feel about mail ballots?

I live in Washington and I like mail in ballots. At first I thought it took away from the spirit of going to a brick and mortar polling location. But now I like the ability to research (as you stated) each of the topics and candidates and make an informed decision. Plus when I had to go somewhere I'd always forget some of who/what I wanted to vote for. :)

I think they are a good idea.

I love going to The Polling Place however, and being seen enjoying one of our Countries greetest attributes, the ability to vote my conscience. There seemed to be a good turnout today.

I wear the I Voted sticker with pride, do you get one if you vote by mail?

We don't get one if we vote by mail. Is it juvenile to say I wish they did send a sticker? LOL
