Just curious since it seems so much easier and less stressful during any election cycle to fill out a form and mail it in during your free time.

    In my state I assume that mail voting will be the most likely to be thrown out for nitpicky bullshit like signature verification.

    There is in person early voting two weeks prior to election day so I voted in person last week. Although my normal voting location is close and never has a line, I vote early when possible just in case I get sick around election day.

      with mail in voting, you got a notification after your ballot is counted and you can track and follow up on it on its journey.

      couldn’t the same vote invalidation happen whether you vote in person or by mail if you’re worried about your state poll workers?

        I’m not worried about votes at the early voting location being any more likely to be thrown out than the average polling location on election day due to legal challenges, and I am not worried about the state poll workers. If I lived in a state that was all mail in voting I wouldn’t be concerned, since the process is the same for everyone.

        My concerns with mail in voting is due to Republicans frequently trying legal challenges to mail in voting and trying to throw out votes since their voters tend to favor in person voting.

        Our voting process is solid, except when Republicans start shenanigans with their stacked courts to bypass the reliable counting process.
