I was voting absentee in Colorado for the 1996 election because I was stationed in Maryland. I sent my ballot off 3 weeks before election day by dropping in a collection box at the post office located 0.75 miles from my townhouse. 2.5 weeks later, it was delivered to my townhouse. I took it straight over to the post office and expressed both my displeasure and the importance of having my vote delivered to Colorado for the election. 1 week later, it was once again delivered to my townhouse in Maryland.
