Vote by Mail

Vote by mail

I had dinner last week with a new friend from Portland. He and his wife had already voted by mail, which is the system used statewide in Oregon. Based on his glowing endorsement (he is a long-standing progressive), I've been looking into that model to assess it for myself. After reading about the irregularities and suppression happening all across America today, I think it's time we consider it here in North Carolina.

There's a good diary up at Daily Kos about VBM ... and a whole organization has been created to explain why Vote By Mail is the smart way to go. Now if we can just find an effective, progressive legislator or two to get VBM on the General Assembly agenda in January.

TrueMeckDem on Myers Park Pat

"My opinion of Pat has changed over the years. I used to think he was truly a man of the people but the longer he has been mayor, the less I think of him.

As with most cities, Charlotte has three political parties: Dem, Rep, and Chamber of Commerce. Pat is definitely the puppet of the COC here. What is good for business is good for Charlotte and Pat ... very personable guy, he has gotten a bunch of Dems in these parts to vote for him but I don't trust him."
