Trust me, even with this SNAFU, ETRADE is WAAAAAY better than some other brokers (like FIDELITY).
At least ETrade is letting you FAX the info.
Up until yesterday (and even today depending on who you talk to) FIDELITY CS Reps had no idea about the mailing address but they wont allow any method other than mailing !!!
Etrade told me they wanted hardcopies just incase they were audited or there was a protest. However, the official vot was taken by phone. That is what I recall them saying.
