Hi Lauren,

The voting at home option is only available in Oregon. Oregon has made a number of innovative changes in voting options. Given your recent hospital stay it sounds like that was a good option for you. 

I hope your health continues to improve. I’m glad to hear of your involvement in the NFB of Oregon.

I told them I thought it was time to have a cat for President.  I don't remember if we had the in-home option in WA or CA or not, but if so, I was unaware of it.

Saturday they took forever getting the paperwork done so I remarked to a couple can's that maybe this was the Hotel California. (in Oregon). I have wounds on my left leg that aren't healing. I've had tons of antibiotics. This time, I think the main wound might finally be getting smaller. It has been painful in a major way.
