public service announcement

...i don't know if this is true, but i heard through the grapevine that absentee voters in california should be sure to place appropriate postage when mailing their ballots.

even though the supplied envelope states 'place stamp here' -- singular -- apparently, a single 39 cents stamp will not be sufficient postage needed to deliver the ballot. and, any ballots received without sufficient postage will, allegedly, not be counted.

i don't know if this is true and hesitated to bring it up, but i'll be damned if my vote isn't going to count this go-round, so we're putting extra postage on our little envelope of democratic goodness, just to be safe.
