So I think someone grabbed our mailbox and ran hoping that they&#8217;d get our ballots and thus keep us from voting agianst measure 36.<\/p>\n<p>As it happens, we got our ballots on Saturday. But I doubt I&#8217;m the only voter this has happened to. If you&#8217;re a registered Oregon voter, have a &#8220;no on 36&#8221; sign and haven&#8217;t yet received your ballot, it&#8217;s possible that your ballot has been stolen by some jerky &#8220;yes on 36&#8221; person. Wait a few days, and if you still haven&#8217;t received it, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sos.state.or.us\/elections\/other.info\/clerk.htm\">call your county election office <\/a>and ask for a replacement ballot to be sent.<\/p>\n<p>(Actually, all registered Oregon voters should do that if they haven&#8217;t received a ballot by early next week, regardless of if you have a &#8220;no on 36&#8221; sign up or not.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I actually think this is pretty funny.
