1. I dropped my ballot off earlier today, then realized I hadn't removed the stub.

I certainly hope they count it. I detest not voting in person, where a mistake like that would be flagged.

2. Sent ours in early last week...

before all of the robocalls started coming in (including all of the illegal ones to cellphones).

Amazing - the largest number of campaign flyers and calls always come in toward the very tail end of the campaign, after most of those that are going to vote have already voted. Seems like a big waste of funds.

(Kept my stub, too...it was worth $1 off on my first pint at our brewery!)

3. I thought deals like that were illegal...(as in "buying votes")

4. Nope - not buying votes for any particular issue or candidate

if you voted and can prove it, you got a buck off, no matter how you voted.
