Kendra: I Need Voting Help

Kendramama: Hey, all you political mavens out there, I need some advice. … I would like to vote this year, but after hemming and hawing for too long, I believe my only option now left is to mail in this absentee/ vote-by-mail ballot that is addressed to the Kootenai County Clerk, correct address and all. I got it in the mail yesterday. So what should I do? And not to sound TOO awfully ignorant, but who will I be eligible to vote for at this late date? (By the way, since I am still a felon, it's only because of Idaho's laws that I'm even able to vote at all, but I'm limited to local elections to the best of my knowledge). And lastly, is there a website or listing somewhere that shows the candidates, their views on key issues, and whether they're Demo or Repub, Liberal, etc.?

DFO: Kendra, I'm going to e-mail this to Dan of the County, who is the expert on your various questions. BTW, it's great to have you commenting again here.

Question: Anyone else out there able to help Kendra?
