No matter how you vote...

take a picture (preferably time-stamped) of your signed ballot before it leaves your hands. Spread the word. There is no better protection against ballot tampering than this going viral.

Considering what's at stake, it is worth taking a chance in the "somewhere in between" states. Can't advocate breaking the law, but cutting a label off a mattress is also against the law.

That's what you do. It's not to appeal to authorities to seek justice, it's to make a statement. Just the possibility of this happening may make the prospective ballot tamperers think twice.

last presidential election. Partly to prove how I voted to family who were suspicious of me. *I rarely tell anyone who I vote for and for anyone to suspect I might have voted for Trump is just so odd*

I just saw that it is illegal in my state. I still have the picture, lol. In my little bitty place in this world I doubt anyone would care one way or the other.
