Simply Vote

with 2 comments

I am an unabashed apolitical person, (although not void of opinions), who values being able to vote. Last night we did a little research into how our move will complicate our methods of voting.

On the surface, it seems simple. We need to live in Wisconsin for 28 days to be eligible to vote there. Not gonna make that.

The State of Wisconsin Election Office web site suggests you simply vote from your former address, if you moved less than 28 days before the election. As if it was that easy.

According to the State of Minnesota Election office web site,” it is illegal to vote from an address at which you no longer reside.” So much for using our former address!

It is back to Wisconsin for us, where we will be eligible to vote a Presidential only ballot.

It’s better than nothing, but I will be really sad if any of the candidates or issues I support end up failing by 1 vote.

  1. Or two votes, I guess.
