I voted for Obama today – Absentee ballot straight to Lower Merion, PA

Though I currently live, work and pay taxes in Boston, MA, I am still registered to vote in my home state of Pennsylvania. I plan to reside in the Philly area at some point in my life, and in the meantime I figured it’d be a smart choice to keep my PA voter registration alive and well.

Because, as we all know, Massachusetts always goes blue, and PA… well who knows. The potent mixture of conservative suburbs (mine included) surrounding the cities and a rural center always causes PA to sway back and forth like the neighborhood drunk.

So today’s the day I did my part in preventing said drunk from barfing all over our country: I sent in my absentee ballot. Give Obama a point in Lower Merion, PA! I’ll see the rest of my townsmen and women on Nov. 4th.

P.S. For all your Philly Obama supporters, he'll be visiting 4 neighborhoods tomorrow:

Hello,
I was wondering if you knew what district number and what ward lower merion is. I need the information to get my absentee ballot, and I can't find it online, and my e-mails haven't been answered yet, so I decided to test blog searching to see if that could help. Thanks!

A. I did the same thing yesterday from NYC, gotta make moves in PA!

B. Jonathon, you don't need that info for either document (ballot/form to get ballot), they will fill that part in for you. Just right Montgomery County - they will fill out the rest. I know this because I called them to ask the same thing.

C. If Obama loses I'm moving to Spain

Yep Jonathon, no need to fill out all that info. They'll take care of it for you.

Zach, if Obama loses, I'm petitioning for the east to secede from the union. Maybe Cali can come too.

If Obama loses, will people accept McCain as our president?

If Obama wins, I will accept him. I wish either man luck!
