Mr. Obama, you have my vote

You've had it in spirit for a long time now, but I couldn't quite figure out how to make it count. And then today, page 5 of The Times of India revealed the existence of something called the "Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot," for Americans living abroad. Turns out, I can be twelve and a half time zones from my voting precinct, my absentee ballot can be loitering somewhere around Polk and McAllister, and I still get to vote! What a great country.
Entrusted to the fine folks at India Speed Post, it's heading in your direction.
Democratically yours,
Sarah
P.S. I'm glad you're taking time off to be with your Grandma, everyone should be able to do such a thing.
