Day 215: Junk Mail (election edition)

Next week is the general election (Nov. 4).  Both Mr. E and I are permanent "absentee ballot" voters, so we've already submitted our ballots a couple of weeks ago.  In theory, this means that our names should be removed from the voter rolls and from the address lists that candidates and other groups can access for their communications, but this never seems to happen.

Case in point: Yesterday, we received 11 pieces of mail, 10 of which (i.e. 91%) were related to the election, and several of which were for the same candidate(s). What a waste of paper and ink and resources...!
