Mailed in my ballot last week in Washington. Been that way since 2011. I like being able to sit at the dining room table and vote straight Republican, then when it comes to judges and non-partisan offices, I can read the Voter's Guide that the state sends out, and search the internet for info on candidates.
I look at organizations that the judges are members of and if I smell anything remotely liberal, I vote for the other person. Same with other public offices.
