Campaign Hitches

So, here I am today, vigilantly trying to do the right thing by my supporters (and to assuage my father’s fears that he will not get into trouble by writing me in on November 7) and get the paperwork filled out declaring myself as a viable write in candidate for office and it is all very suspicious how many little challenges that are put up…

Example 1: the form is very simple; so simple in fact that it tells you when it has to be received by, but not where it needs to be received. That is located in a different (and not intuitively named) document elsewhere on the State website.

Example 2: the form requires it be notarized—which makes perfect sense. As I personally do not know a notary public, nor do my friends after a quick survey, I Googled and was directed to the State Website, which lo and behold as a “Notary Public Search”… with the following notation: “> PLEASE NOTE: This site does not provide information for locating a notary public to notarize documents.” Very convenient.

For anyone requiring this service, it seems your local UPS Store often has Notary Publics on staff.

But, somewhere, someone at the Federal level was thinking… we now have a Wonder Woman stamp. I will be using one of those to mail this damn form in… I think I will need her powers to get it through to the PO BOX I have to send it into. That, is not promising…
