I wonder if you've ever actually come close to dying. I mean, for real. If you had, you might be less... cavalier, no pun intended.

I am personally voting in person because I felt very comfortable with the process safety during the primary, but I don't care how anyone else casts their vote, just vote!

With all the organized rioting, burning, looting, assault and murder from the left it would be cakewalk for them to steal and trash ballots. I guarantee they will do plenty of it for this election.

If you’re ok with mail in, fine. Go ahead. I’ll be going in person.

I voted this past week and had to wait in line and there was another separate line for people returning absentee ballots. America has made up its mind.
And what happens if you get hit by the 4:20 bus.jeasss Dont be afraid of your own shadow.

Even in Washington state, you can still vote in person. That hasn't been taken away.

Please keep doing so! I wonder how many of your past votes wer lost, stolen, damaged, or disallowed?

You will never know. At least now some states have internet verification....who few utilize I'm guessing.

Paper voting is advantage Trump, unless mail fraud, voter fraud, or election fraud occurs...then its all bets off.

Why would you do such a thing when you don’t have to?

We have been safely voting by mail in Colorado for a decade, mostly with Republican Secretaries of State.

I get a text or email when my ballot is being mailed to me and another to confirm that is has been received after I drop it in a secure drop box at the police station down the street.

Best system in the country.

You have to put more skin in the game than that, IMHO.

I also think you should have to type in (or in the case of mail in or drop off ballots, write in) the name of the candidates you choose. Put some effort in.
There's no skin in the game right now. All one has to be is a citizen of this country. With a straight face we have tens of millions of people who pay zero in income taxes being able to say to those who do what they should do with that money.

How does one lose touch with reality to think something so outrageous such as this? Do you really have so little faith in your fellow citizens?
