Got my primary ballot in the mail - does your state have ballot trace?

[Hawkeye-X]

All were single picks except for Bennet/Romanoff - voted for Romanoff, but that isn't the point.

The point is, it has ballot trace.

What it is? It says as follows:

What is Ballot TRACE?

Ballot TRACE is an innovative ballot tracking service, pioneered together by the Denver Elections Division, i3Logix (a local software company), and the U.S. Postal Service.

This new service, designed for Denver voters, will notify you by email or text message of your ballot's progress through the U.S. postal system between the time it is put into the mail to you and the time is is received back at the Denver Elections Division.

This program was first beta tested during the November 2009 election. (Our beta testers from last year will need to sign up anew this year.)

So there, you have it. Great idea or WHAT?

1. Boy I sure hope not

I wouldn't want anybody know it was me who wrote in Mike Hunt, Haywood Jablowmey, and Hugh G. Rection.

2. LOL.

This one didn't have any space to write it in.

3. That doesn't seem right

Actually I never voted for those guys but I did write in my own name in the County Sheriff election once because I was PO'ed at the sheriff for refusing to patrol our area of the county because it was too remote.

Seems to me that voters in your area are being deprived of their franchise. I suppose that anyone who wants to write in a candidate can actually go to the polls and do so, but given the ever increasing number of people who vote by mail in ballots, they need to make some provision for write in votes.

4. I always drop my ballot off at the courthouse in person.

I don't want to rely on the USPS to deliver my vote - I want to watch my ballot go into the ballot box.

5. I'll be watching for my ballot.

I had a friend drop it off.
