Another post from me on mail in ballots.. (I know I am harping)

But think of it this way.. it is the one way we have a hard copy of our ballot.. and you can drop it off yourself usually at the local courthouse prior to the election.. but they have my drivers license on my application, my phone, my text.. easy peasy to get ahold of me, and when the ballot comes there will be an identifying number on just my ballot.


IT IS THE ONE WAY I KNOW MY BALLOT IS THERE AND THEY CAN CHECK WITH ME IF THEY HAVE TO!!

Yep I am shouting.. do they think we are that stupid.. Trump wants to give the Russians access to our electronic voting.. why does anyone think the Russians were testing their abilities in 2016 to impact ballots on the local levels

Mailing it, no matter how early it is. We have no idea if those ballots will be counted or destroyed. Several individuals here are reporting that online tracking isn’t working.

DON’T RISK IT!!!

Went to the Supervisor of elections building, Big bin with volunteers looking to see if the outside of the ballot was filled out properly. Drop it in the bin and off you go. I see it as a dry run for Nov 3.. It went very smoothly with the minimum of fuss and very little interaction with people.. just one. Easy peasy job done
