I do understand your point.  Just a personal gripe   Instead of having one election day, it's almost like creating 2 separate classes of voters voting at different times on the same election.  If the timing of the voting doesn't really matter, then they theorectically could just make voting year round.  Vote Jan 1 to primary deadline for primary.  Immediately after primary until november 14th (i think) for election.

Nobody can vote until the ballots are printed.  There are laws that govern when the cutoff dates are for petitioning to be on a ballot, last day a candidate can be removed, when they must be mailed for absentee/early voters, etc.  Logistically, since polls open on a given date based on the Constitution/laws, ballots will be prepared a minimum amount of time prior to election day.

Taken a step further, why not let people pre-vote when they register?  If I register as a Republican, why not automatically cast my vote in the general elections for the Republican candidates?

Well that's kinda making my point, I think the actual casting of ballots should be done close to or on voting day.  again, just my 0.02.

Mailed my stuff in today.

Trying to "stuff" the ballot box?   

Mailed in my ballot today.   

I was going outside to put my ballot in a blue bin when a coworker stopped me in the hallway.  I think another coworker saw that I had the blue envelope in my hand and a few minutes later, he passed by with his blue envelope, so I gave him mine to drop in the blue bin.  When I saw him come back into the building, I was gonna joke with him and ask him for my receipt.  Haha

Got a text from someone encouraging me to vote for the Blue Wave. Is there a site that we can give these numbers so that they get relentlessly spammed?

I read of some volunteers who sent texts getting some pretty interesting responses.  Apparently, a pretty popular response to unsolicited political texts are sending of dick pics.

Recommend you NEVER, EVER reply to any unsolicited, unknown-sender text messages.  Scammers often set them up to charge you on your cell bill when the text goes out of the country or to some subscription service.  A reply could cause way more problems for you than just annoying free texts.

If you right click on the message or use the messaging menu in the app, there should be a "Report as SPAM" option. You may then be requested by your service provider to text them the phone number of the sender.  They'll investigate and hopefully put a stop to the sender's practices.

Here's the procedure for reporting spam on iOS (Iphones).

I haven't responded to any.  Ended up ignoring them, but when I got them, I was super tempted to respond something like "don't text me or contact me ever again".  I mean I'd like to forward the number to some kids to have them harass the texter to teach them a lesson.  Or give that number out when the scammers call me.   

I voted today at Honolulu Hale.  You can do same day voter registration if needed, just bring your Hawaii drivers license or state ID.
