Sometimes there is merit in receiving things a little late. My ballot came just when the first complained about getting theirs returned. In fact, I already had my ballot in the mailbox to be picked up. There again, the mailman was late, I ran out with a magic marker, marked off my name and address, the mailman picked it up 15 minutes later - this was the day before yesterday and my ballot was not returned to me. Phffft. I made in just in time.

You are presuming that the Ballot got there.
