Look, the idea of that happening is just silly. First, any state that is “in play”, as in a toss up for either candidate is almost certainly controlled by the GOP at a local level. In fact, many states that are not likely to go GOP for President this year are controlled locally (legislatively) by Republicans. They work with board of elections, the poll volunteers, all of it. The have bi-partisan people working with everyone. This is all at the local level. No political party has the money or signNow to change enough votes in enough states among all these parties. No one. This isn’t Iraq or Afghanistan where you have tribal leaders and state controlled media. The elections are going to be as fair as possible. Will there be problems? Yes. There are always some, but none of these problems will be big enough to make a difference in the election. Other than Trump and his minions, all the Republicans agree the elections will not be stolen.Regarding Sanders, Clinton did not “steal” the election from him. She won the votes. The had more money. She had minority support. She had a better organization. She had a better ground game. She had all the Baby Boomers, which is a huge electorate. Sanders, had young, educated, white people. That is signNow, but still small, electorate. Not that much different than the movement Ron Paul has had in the past.Sanders other issue was that the Democratic party leadership preferred Hillary, a long time member and supporter, to Sanders, a mostly independent socialist who has caucused but never contributed anything of signNow to the party. This is not “stealing” an election. The amount of conspiracy crap I see about this election is ridiculous. It really does show how uneducated and gullible Trump supporters, at least the vocal ones, appear to be. I weep for what was once my party. Trump and Tea Crappers have ruined it.

Astronauts most certainly can cast their vote from the International Space Station (ISS).  As a matter of fact, I did just that in 2007!  And making voting from space even more cool (at least to me anyway) is the fact that my beautiful bride Susan H. Anderson, was THE person who made it happen --way back in the Shuttle/Mir days!Astronaut David Wolf (an Indiana native, but Texas resident at the time) was the first U.S. Astronaut to cast his vote from space.  A resident on the Russian Mir space station during the voting cycle, his ability to cast his vote from space rode on the pen of then-Texas Governor George W. Bush.  My wife led a NASA team of individuals who developed the protocols needed to ensure the space flier voting process maintained appropriate privacy, and allowed orbiting U.S. citizens an easy way to cast their ballots.  Files are encrypted, and the process tightly controlled, minimizing the number of "earthlings" that need to be involved.  A story to check out ran on the http://nationaljournal.com, penned by Alex Brown (@alexbrownnj).In 2007, when I exercised my voting rights as a citizen --a bit removed from my local polling venue-- the ballot I cast focused on local/municipal statutes and no big ticket contests for a high profile office.As we head quickly toward the time when many Americans will be narrowing down personal choices to vote in local, state, and national elections, let us remember that voting is a right we are granted by our Constitution.  Make your vote count, every single time.  Not registered to vote?  What the heck are you waiting for?Keep lookin' up!

"More than 40,000 of the 70,000 government employees assigned poll duty have already cast their votes through postal ballot.While the facility was earlier used only by staff in missions abroad and defence personnel in a limited way, the Election Commission of India decided to make use of the postal ballot in a big way for the 2013 Assembly elections.The previous election in Delhi saw deployment of 55,000 personnel of the Delhi Police and 22 companies of central paramilitary forces. Officials said that in 2008, only around 1,000 votes were cast through postal ballot.For the process of postal ballot "aimed at maximising voters' turnout", the Delhi Election Commission segregated the polling staff into three groups — police officers, government staff and drivers of private officials.Source- http://archive.indianexpress.com...Who can vote by postal ballot?There are six different categories of voters entitled to use the postal ballot:a) Service voters,b) Special voters,c) Wives of service voters and special voters, d) Voters subjected to preventive detention,e) Voters on election duty andf) Notified voters.#Service voters include the armed forces, those in a force covered by the Army Act, those in the armed police force of a state who are serving outside the state and those employed by the government of India and working in a post abroad (as embassy staff for example).#Special voters are those holding offices that have been declared by the President to be offices to which sub-section (4) of Section 20 of the Representation of the People Act applies. Such offices include the President, the vice-president, governors of states and ministers of the Union or of states.#Most of the other categories are self-explanatory, except for#Notified voters. This means those who belong to a class of persons notified by the Election Commission (EC) in consultation with the government, are eligible for postal ballot.#Domestic servants accompanying diplomatic officers are not entitled to the postal ballot facility and nor are the sons and daughters of such officers.#How does a person eligible to vote by postal ballot avail of it?In the case of service voters, their names are already registered in the last part of the electoral roll in each constituency. It is the responsibility of the returning officer of the constituency to ensure that the postal ballot papers are despatched to these voters in time for them to return the papers for counting. The EC's rules stipulate that the returning officer must get the ballot papers for service voters printed within 24 hours of the last hour of withdrawal of candidates for the poll. They must be despatched within the next 24 hours. This is because the schedule allows for only 13 days between the date of withdrawal and the date of polling. Therefore, enough time must be allowed for the ballot papers to be despatched to all the eligible voters and for them to be filled and returned.Special voters who wish to use the postal ballot will have to apply to the returning officer at least 10 days before the date of polling, after which the returning officer must send him or her the ballot papers. For those in preventive detention, it is the duty of the government to inform the returning officer of their names, addresses and electoral roll numbers, along with the place where they are being kept in detention. Voters on election duty have to apply for the postal ballot facility, normally at least seven days before the poll. However, the returning officer can use his discretion to allow people in this category to use the postal ballot even at short notice, since in some cases they may become aware of the fact that they will be unable to vote, too late to meet the seven-day deadline.

Only if you have a written authorization from her, stating specifically how to vote for each candidate, preferably signNowd.  Citizens can not grant to other people the right to vote for them generically.  If that were the case, people would sell their votes.

Can't speak for other states, but in California all that is required is that the absentee ballot must be posted marked no later than Tuesday and received by the Registrar of Voters no later than Friday. So if you give it to a mailman or drop it in the mailbox no later than pickup time tomorrow, your ballot should be received on time. No guarantee though.

The details of the process vary, such as the deadlines for requesting a postal ballot, and the deadline for into arrive in order to be counted.First, make sure you are properly registered to vote in the jurisdiction where you live. Otherwise the rest of this won’t matter.If it is a one-time request for a postal ballot, you can download a form from your jurisdiction’s election web site, fill it out, and mail it to them requesting that they send you a blank absentee ballot. When you get it, fill it with your votes, use the envelopes (two) provided, and be sure to fill out the form that is on the inner envelope as well, and be sure to sign the envelope as directed.
