People in my town recently recent voting ballets in the mail. Our state has mail-in elections so receiving ballots is normal. However, I hadn't heard of anything we were voting on in March. Our primary election is in May.
To my surprise, it was a fake election. The county had purchased a new vote counting system and wanted to test it before the big election. There were a variety of 'offices' to vote people into...with either celebrities or dead people's names to choose from. And a few policies to vote yes or no...which were nonsense. It gave me a laugh... and is an interesting way to test out the new system. We're turning in our ballots. I wonder how many people will participate. I can appreciate the desire to give the new machinery a test before the major election hits it. We didn't have any small elections scheduled before the primary. Alice in Oregon -- getting ready to go to a Soup Supper at church in support of the team of young people who travel to Mexico on spring break and build houses. They pay all their expenses and the building materials for four small houses that they will work on during their week there. With the higher price of petrol, they need even more funds than in the past for the trip. It's a worthy cause and I'm happy to help them.
