I’m feeling all of this, too. Between the election and this next Supreme Court cycle I’m not feeling optimistic about the state of our democracy. We have a particularly contentious gubernatorial race here in Oregon that is keeping me up at night. I have luckily had some good convos with canvassers and know many good peeps going out to canvass and hope that’s the norm here and one glimmer of hope locally. But I do hear you completely

I’m an American citizen (dual citizenship) living in Canada. I’ve been an absentee voter for almost 15 years. This year was the first year I had to reapply for absentee voter status in Montana. Since I moved to Canada with my parents in 1964 I had no Drivers Licence or SSN. A bit of an issue originally but it turned out fine. So I sent in my absentee ballot request over 2 weeks ago but I can see on the voter registration page I’m still listed as “non absentee. “ I emailed the elections person and she sent me a link that doesn’t exist and when I seemed to find the page when I sent my info I got a server error.

Sorry this is so long and whiny ☹️ but it has made me so discouraged. I’ll keep at it though it’s really important to me as a woman to vote.
