Got the first one last week and today a second one that is totally different in every way. Very odd.
 

Haven't gotten mine yet so I re-applied again thru the voters registration site for my county....probably gonna be snail mail b4 I receive it.
 
Pops, I ordered mine twice, and so far haven't gotten one. But it's only been a little over a week. I guess we have to be patient.

One thing I'm wondering is: if you order a mail-in ballot, and it never arrives, or even if it does and you change your mind, can you still go to the polls on election day?
 
fmdog, I would think your name would be marked off the electoral role when the vote is received. It anyone receives two ballots and they are different I would be very concerned. The official ballot should be confirmed before mailing and the other destroyed. I would photo both and check with some authority that needs to know about the discrepancy.

Do you mean the order in which the candidates are listed, ie the incumbant first , by party , or alphabetically ? Or are you refering to something else?

I know in some states each ballot is not identical-- having candidates listed in different order to eliminate positional bias.

In my county in Ohio once you request a mail in ballot if you go to the polls to vote you will have to vote a provisional ballot. This eliminates any type of fraud.
