Why no vote by mail?

Some might think it's safer to be there in person I guess

Definitely think so too

You can track your ballot after it’s mailed/dropped off.

California does an excellent job at this. You get a notification that your ballot has been counted.

Same in Colorado!

When they're burning drop off boxes in THREE different states, I want to see it counted.

I vote absentee, as do most of the people I know, and after 2020, none of us are mailing our ballot back. We are taking them to the in-person voting areas and dropping them off with staff.

In 2020, there were reports of ballots being dumped, and so far there have been reports of drop boxes set on fire and stuff… it’s hard to trust, because of republican stooges seeding chaos, and enough of a pain in the ass to fix if it gets messed up that we aren’t taking chances.

Edit: seeing to seeding

I mailed mine. But I also got a text that the ballot was coming and another a few days after mailing saying it was accepted and counted. I imagine it would be annoying if I had to get a new ballot because some ass caught it on fire, but probably not any more so than having to vote like in the pic.

Yea I heard about ballots being dumped and the fires that's why I'm voting in person
