I had to dodge the fella in the orange vest at Bartell Drugs (the library garage was closed), it took minutes off my life, but it was worth it! I find it interesting that it costs so much to maintain those damn drop boxes.<br><br>I don't miss waiting in line to vote. After a long day at work, standing on hardwood flooring for an hour, then realizing that I was in the line of the woman who was having trouble finding people's names on the list. I much prefer doing it by mail, I just think there should be a "no out of pocket cost" option for voters. I much preferred dropping off my ballot, for no charge.

Period. Union Station, Tukwilla or downtown is not convenient for me, nor do I like having to pay postage to vote. I prefer voting in person. Period.
