Florida voters trust their local poll workers and elected Supervisors of Elections, according to new polling commissioned by the Secure Democracy Foundation.
The poll, conducted Nov. 27-29 by the Tyson Group, found three-quarters of those polled trust their local election officials and nearly as many (73%) trust their county Supervisor. Party affiliation made little difference the sentiment carried among 73% of Republicans, 77% of Democrats and 69% of third- and no-party voters.
Further, 5 out of 6 voters said they believed election administrators should have their private information protected by law to curb potential threats and harassment.
Floridians also said it was important for the state to preserve voting options, including early in-person, mail ballots and in-person on Election Day. Again, there was little gap between party affiliations, with more than 80% of Democrats, Republicans and no-party voters in agreement.

(15,805 posts)when I get it I do some research on the candidates. I fill out the mail in ballot and then drive down to the supervisor of election office and deposit it in the ATTENDED drop off box. About two days later I look on the website and it shows my vote was received and noted as accepted. Easy peasy...
No danger of it being "lost" in the mail...
