If you have been reading this blog, you are aware of the fiasco in Maryland regarding the upcoming election on November 7th. Today, it is November 1st and I still have NOT received my absentee ballot, which was applied for in ample time before the deadline. I will be leaving the country for vacation in the morning on Friday, November 3rd. Unless, by some miracle, I get my ballot in the mail on Thursday, I will have been denied a vote in this election. In this day and age of technological advances, it is completely unacceptable for this to happen. There is no excuse.....none. I did what I was supposed to do and I have no recourse. Interestingly enough, I have received mail from all sorts of politicians asking for my vote and I even received two letters from some that indicate that they are aware that my request for an absentee ballot had been received. I wonder how that knowledge came to them. I don't even have any official confirmation of such. All I can say at this stage is, the whole system is corrupt. I am left with absolutely no confidence in the system of elections here in Maryland. It is a disgrace. Somebody MUST be held accountable. Unfortunately, I will be back home from vacation on the 10th of November. I get the pleasure of returning to this disaster area known as Maryland.
