Ooh, I’m surprised that you and I agree on this, given your emphatic support for Joe Biden, Democrats, and big government in general.

I also drop my ballot off at the Dropbox in front my county Clerk and Recorder’s office because I don’t want to risk the ballot getting lost or delayed by the Postal Service.

4 days gives the Democrats time to find just enough uncounted ballots in the trunk of someone's car. See past Minnesota Elections to see how that works.

I surrendered my mail-in ballot today at the early voting tent so that I could vote in person, which I did today. I just don't feel that secure with the US Postal Service. Sometimes my medications are delivered to my neighbors. So I figured I'd better vote in person rather than mail in this ballot.

I don't know why I thought the election would be decided on Election Day.

You realize when the news "calls" a state, the election still isn't officially decided, right?

Las Vegas tends to the be the problem since it is so huge in relation to the rest of the state. Literally 2M of the 3 million residence live in the Vegas metro. Nevada and NM are basically one huge metro, a couple of outlying towns and vast expanses with very few voters except for 2-3 smaller cities. Vegas also has huge numbers or retirees and huge numbers of service workers who do not live on a typical 9-5 work schedule. There are states with l
