Did you know that Maryland voters can vote by absentee ballot, no questions asked? Just send in the request form by the end of the month and you’re good to go.

Why would you want to do this? Two reasons spring to mind:

• Being too lazy to go to the polling place on Nov 7, even when it’s literally within walking distance from your domicile.
• Diebold voting machines are a security nightmare with no reliable audit trail.

Fun fact: Maryland’s governor is encouraging voters to use absentee ballots instread of Diebold’s machines as well. And being an election year, people will argue about why that is.
