We vote by mail in Washington state. We can also leave our ballots in drop boxes. Sequim’s drop box was recently replaced with a new, larger version to accommodate anticipated high turnouts for our presidential primary on May 24.
Our ballots arrived last weekend and we deposited them in the new drop box. I don’t exaggerate when I say that the box was swarmed with voters.
While I was there – the time I took to walk up to the box to deposit ballots and take these shots – the traffic past the box was constant. And ballots aren’t due for two weeks. I think most observers would agree we’ve never seen anything like this election.
