@futurebird In Colorado, I get a text message when my ballot is mailed, when the county picks it up from the box, and when it's counted. An email too. And on the same page I sign up for all these, I can view my voting history (not who I voted for, but that I voted and when/where, and if it's a primary which party's ballot I completed). More states need to do this.
Also in Colorado, you have to put postage on your ballot if you mail it, and it's a nonstandard amount. Which, WTF.
