I'll do all my Christmas shopping online as well. 

As far as not voting in person, aren't we talking about absentee balloting? I thought that was what mail-in voting was. My family all voted absentee. We requested ours months ago and turned them back in weeks ago. Isn't there just absentee balloting, early voting and in person voting? That is the only way to vote here in Ohio.

Absentee balloting is TOTALLY different than main-in voting. You have to request an absentee AND they match your signature. It is a legitimate process that has been in place for a long time. I am actually registered to do it, but choose to shred my ballot at the polling station and vote in person for presidental elections.

I was not aware that mail-in ballots were different from absentee ballots. They apparently aren't used in Ohio. Maybe that is why Ohio was declared so early, even though it was a much closer race than I anticipated. We run a pretty tight ship up here. Why did some states allow mail-in balloting if absentee ballots were available? This makes no sense to me.

Senate is still in play for the Democrats...

I can promise you that your portfolio won't like that one, lol.

The only portfolio I have is my high school graduation portfolio. I had a mullet. LOL.
