    Any other election, I wait until closer to election day, just in case information comes out that might change my mind.

    This one, I’m getting that ballot into a direct election drop box ASAP just in case something screwy happens.

      Has that ever happened?

        Louis DeJoy intentionally ganked the postal system just before the 2020 election.

          I was responding to the part I quoted about changing their mind about who to vote for at the last minute.

      I go by that reasoning too, and FWIW it could still apply to down-ballot races. But fuck it, I’m also gonna vote ASAP because I concur that MAGA fraud is more likely.

    Only 4/10?

    We can probably punp that up if people realize they stop sending mailers to people who already voted.

      Hell yeah! You can’t even go to polling stations in my state, they no longer exist. Mail in ballot only and FTW! Luckily my ballot drop box is in my neighborhood just 2 blocks away. Colorado rocks. My wife and I also already voted.

    I gave mine to my city clerk yesterday. Our drop boxes aren’t out yet, but they still take them.

      Unless you watch them count your vote appropriately you can’t trust any type of voting so what’s the difference?

      You have no idea what you’re missing with mail in only voting. It’s just so much easier that I vote in almost every local, state, and federal election now. I NEVER did that in a state where voting was done primarily through polling stations.
