2008 Election Q&A; or, Oh Dear God

Hey Stranger: My mother told me that you must fill out absentee ballots in #2 pencil or they wouldn’t be counted. She also said people whose homes were in foreclosure wouldn’t be able to vote. Are these things true? Thank you.
Dear son of a horribly misinformed mother: Neither of those things is true. You’re welcome.
Baaahahahah!! Women.
When do absentee ballots get mailed out in WA State?
She also told me that Obama was a terrorist-loving muslim and that I'll go to hell if I touch myself. Are these things true? Thank you.
the writer was a man.
mr. poe is a misogynist.

to be fair, the media has been reporting on the idea that foreclosure equals no vote:

Your mom is a man. Burn!
Oh man, if Stranger readers are buying (or even considering buying) this crap, we're really screwed.
You also can't vote if your bed isn't made, if your tires are more than 5% underinflated, if you fail to look both ways when crossing the street in front of your polling place, if you have ever rubbed a dog's belly, if you have any suspicious bulges in the shape of your head, or if your hair looks "hinky".
@2 - October 15th-18th for king county:

it's in green on the righthand side of the main page.
I bet the mom is beautiful.
make that October 15th-17th.
oops!
@2:
The absentee ballots will be mailed out between October 13-16 according to King County Elections. I received mine a couple of days ago because I'm out of the country, so they mailed me a "military ballot" which I can safely assume KCE mails out earlier because of the length of time foreign mail sometimes takes.
The ballot, by the way, clearly states to use dark ink. Pencil marks could easily be erased and changed. You wouldn't want to vote in pencil.
Mr. Poe's mother hates him.
She's not the only one.
Don't despise Mr.Poe...he's just lonely.
Neither thing is true - but how did Somebody's Mother come to believe these things? That might be significant in the dirty tricks department.
Jeez buddy, don't vote. I bet you're undecided, too. Just rest your head and stay at home.
You have to fill out your form such that it can be read by a machine that you don't have. Much simpler than a #2 pen requirement.
Mr. Poe: my eyes burn, you bastard. May wine NEVER pour from your tap!
Don't forget that there's a special date for Republican and GOP voters - November 27th. If you try to vote before then, you might turn gay.
You can't vote if you have any unpaid parking tickets or library fines, if you were dismissed from jury duty, or were ever late on a rent or mortgage payment. Well you CAN, but they won't count it. You will, however, be absolutely barred from the polling place if you roll your socks together rather than folding them.
