I had heard you can track the progress of your mail-in ballot, so went to the king county elections website (live view of the envelope opening station) to check it out. After giving my info, it comes back and says that my ballot has been received, and my signature verified, then closes with the semi-sinister “you will be credited with voting”. I’m sure it’s just wishy-wash-speak, but it still comes across a little odd to me. Nothing about my voted being recorded, only that I’m credited for the process of voting.
Credited with whom, and what can I turn these credits over for, candy? I like candy.
