We can't afford to vote by mail!

13. I understand that each person must decide for themselves...

The amount of risk they can withstand and do what's best for themselves and their families. I have thought long and hard about it and my husband and I have decided that we are going to the polls on election day. We need to know that our votes will be counted. There is too much at stake and frankly, we are scared shitless.

I will say, however, that we are lucky. We live in a small, rural community that still uses paper ballots. We usually go to the polling place early in the AM and it's wide open with very few other people. Unfortunately, not everyone has such ideal circumstances.

For those that can't go to the polls on election day, for whatever reason, I hope hope hope they take advantage of early voting, if it's an option and they are able. If not, and voting by mail-in ballot is their only option, then drop box is best if it's available in their area. If not, and USPS is their only option, then the earlier the better.

GOTV!!!
