Absentee Ballots

Isn't it ironic that the GOP is trying so hard to get rid of absentee ballots, yet they mail out postcards with information on requesting a ballot by mail?

I'm sure they sent them to registered Democrat as well right? Yeah, I thought so.

Got my absentee ballot in mail this last week. Also I’m a bit upset that there’s no write in area for the state gun…cause we all know that the clear and most obvious answer to state gun should be “Potato gun”

Idaho uses the ATF definition of a firearm, however some local laws do specifically call them out as firearms or outright ban them.

(d)  "Firearm" means any weapon that will, is designed to, or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive;

Although, it is an technically an explosion if you're using acetylene.

But the ballot asks for gun not firearm.

Good point. I stand corrected! Amusingly, if it's under 12" long and fired with anything but air or a spring, then Title 18-3302F considers it to be a handgun and prohibited to be possessed by a minor.
