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.
- 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.

  Has that ever happened?
  
  Louis DeJoy intentionally ganked the postal system just before the 2020 election.

Only 4/10?
We can probably punp that up if people realize they stop sending mailers to people who already voted.
I already did. Screw waiting in line at the polls.
- 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.
Reduce your fractions folks

I gave mine to my city clerk yesterday. Our drop boxes aren’t out yet, but they still take them.
I’ll never trust mail in voting
- 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.
