My county also supplies sample ballots. So do the parties, with the correct choices helpfully filled in.

Also, does the LWV still exist? I used to know people who were members. Hell, my Mom was the state president when I was a kid. But I am not aware of anyone in the LWV anymore.

Where you are this doesn't happen? Here in Louisiana (specifically, my *parish, Acadia) paper and on-line sample ballots are published well in advance of votin' day.

Based on my experience, after they kept their political side and not their voter education side, there is no reason for them to actually exist, unless there is a severe shortage of potluck dinners in the nation.

Have not seen one since the 1980s - in multiple states.

Beyond being available on-line, both major parties deliver ballots in my township.

How do you get them? Where did you find out about this? And how far in advance do they provide them?

In the old days my Dad was a Republican committeeman and remains on the county GOP mailing list. Pete did some phone work for the Democrats last election cycle and is now on their countywide mailing list. The Democrat ballots used to be hand delivered by a neighbor but he moved to a blue area.

Just another example of how more employment (and no bias) was created by replacing neighbors with computer networks.

Was it the Far Side where this expression would be in tiny letters?
