Absentee Ballots?
I was wondernig if anyone knew when we were supposed to receive them? My wife and I are still waiting. We received our primary ballots, but with Nov 7 closing in, I'm getting a little nervous that the general election ones haven't come yet.

2. We haven't received ours, either,
but we did get a voter's pamphlet. I'll call the county if we don't get them by next Monday.

3. This is why I refuse to go with absentee ballots
King County has a horrible reputation for getting those things out in time.
