We have vote-by-mail here in the Pacific North-Left. The elections commission said it had not been returned so I am reasonable to expect it was stolen from my mailbox.
Happily the commission had no objection to giving me a replacement.
It happens that this area has a Republican House Representative - Jaime Hererra - however I am quite openly a leftist. Was my ballot's theft politically motivated?

As I understand it, you have a need for some things. The interesting one is medication to keep you stable, plus right now I guess you need antibiotics and possibly some pain medication. You're voting to lose all that.
Don't believe me? Nobody thought they would lose access to medication when they voted for leftists in Venezuela. For a time, everything was great. There was subsidized everything! Eventually though, you run out of other people's money, and then shit hits the fan. People start dying because they can't get antibiotics.
Granted, it takes a while for this to happen. You aren't that old though. You could live to see a socialist dystopia if people like Ocasio Cortez get to run this country into the ground. Someday you could be sneaking into the zoo to hunt for food.

Canada is lucky to have the USA paying for things. When the USA overpays for drugs, that supports the companies. Canada barely covers production cost. When the USA overpays for NATO and FIVEEYES and more, Canada is protected. It must be nice being Canada. It won't be nice after the USA collapses and there are American refugees headed toward Canada.
Canada itself hasn't gone full leftist. They are disturbingly close. Canada isn't yet doing the really stupid shit like setting price limits for random household things like diapers and toilet paper. Leftism eventually does that, which is why those things are only available on the blackmarket in Venezuela. Socialism gives you a smelly ass.
BTW, it isn't just Venezuela. That is simply the most dramatic recent case. There's also Zimbabwe, the cultural revolution, Castro's little island prison, Best Korea, and every other foolish attempt to implement a leftist utopia.

Strange I live in seattle and my ballot is rejected for not matching my DL signature every single year. I have handwriting problems that are related to adhd. I could write neater but it's slow and it looks generically like everyone's handwriting when they try hard. I have a few characteristics that I make sure are featured in every signature, it's not even my name it's an abbreviation for a popular piece of military profanity, even if it's shit anyone who looks at it knows my john hancock looks odd for a man named Dale Herbertson Smith-Whickey
