Axios is pushing the "red mirage" effect of mail-in ballots. Let's win both the in person and

mail-in vote, and forget about the mirage

1. I'm voting in person

But I live in a small town. Very little wait usually.

2. I think if people vote early, and don't wait until the last minute, in person voting should be

no problem

7. My recollection from being a poll watcher is that mid-morning and mid-afternoon are pretty slow

Busy times are before work, at noon, and after working hours.

4. I have no clue why they are pushing "red mirage."

In most states, mail in votes are counted first, not last. My state starts counting mail in ballots several weeks prior to the election. They key is to submit mail in ballots as early as possible so they arrive before the election. Then they will be counted first in most states.

5. Just to stir thing up I suspect

6. I'm doing early in-person vote

in South Florida. I was planning on voting by mail but I don't trust our desperate president. However, we have paper ballots here so I feel comfortable with my choice. I believe those who vote by machine will be just as vulnerable as those who vote by mail, if not more vulnerable to cyber security issues. At least successfully voting by mail will leave a paper trail.
The Trump experience has taught us that our democracy has many vulnerabilities. We need to make election security a top priority and we need to be able to hold the president accountable.
