Even when I was overseas I still had the absente ballot sent to me and participated that way. I wasn't very well informed at that time but voted along party lines.
My Dad ran for congress a long time ago but didn't make it through the Rep primarys. The Dem was heavily favored to win that seat and did anyway. He ended up a couple years later running for State Assembly and held that position until he retired an ornery conservative Law maker.
Help me
