Did you vote absentee or waiting for election day?

[Just A Box Of Rain]

32. From the time I turned 18 (1976) until the pandemic hit

I always voted in person, and I always vote. 100% lifetime voting record.

Showing at the polls on election day was a very big deal for me. I took my son along with me and my wife from the time he was a baby. In 2008--as a 4 year old--he helped ink my ballot for Obama. This year he finally gets his own ballot.

Once the pandemic began we've been getting mail-in ballots. Rather than trusting the mail, we have returned them to a ballot dropbox that is a short walk from our home. We use that and then I track the ballots (anxiously).

I do miss voting on election day in person.

This time I will again use the dropbox, while I long for a return to the norms of the "before-times."
