Comment Vote by Mail (Score 1) 505
Living in Oregon, we just did our first vote by mail presidential election. What is great about this is that there is no "voting day", there is just a deadline. You get a few weeks to actually vote. To me this is just as good as doing it on the web--I can do it at home on my own time. And I get a chance to vote before a "winner" has been declared from the exit polls in earlier time zones.
Locally it has made elections much quieter since it doesn't pay to do last minute advertising. And it has increased voter turn out. Who has already voted is a matter of public record which gives organizations a tool to target those who might not vote and try to convince them to vote.
