People ask how they can support us.

It's very simple.

Vote.

I don't care who you vote for, I just care that you do. Our deaths, our injuries, our sacrifices, are all payment for that concept of giving people a voice. We've given you a gift. We've paid for it already. We are here, and we will be here till the job is done. Yet there are people who say that the process is stupid, flawed, unnecessary. They may be right. But we're here for a reason, and every one hwo doesn't vote negates that reason just a bit.

My ballot was not blood-stained, but that's because a truckload of them probably got blown up. I was using a generic ballot, not even the one I was sent. In order for us to vote, someone gave up their life. The Iraqis haven't seen a real election in thirty years. It's a brand new right for them, and some of them are willing to die for it. —ginmar, US Army Reserve, in Iraq

Will you say more about that? Who counts the vote, and when, and how is that process audited?

K.

They don't start counting until the deadline (which is midnight of Election day).

And so far, no one has challenged a vote, though it does take longer since each voter sheet has to be scanned to record a vote (we use the fill in the bubble with a number two pencil voting card).

Given how unstable the postal service is in both of the areas where I've lived (one in California, one in New Mexico) that sounds like a rather rotten idea to me.

You can also drop off your ballot at the library or other drop off points.

All? As in, that's the only way to vote?

Yup, that's the only way to vote.

There are no voting booths, etc.
