going as planned. Normally, I vote by mail. This year, I will walk my ballot down to the office myself if the ballot drop boxes are not available. But I am not mailing it. I will do my part to ease the congestion. If, for some reason, I don't get the ballot, I will be on the phone w the recorder's office immediately. 10/7/20 is when ballots go out and it is on my calendar. Gotta vote EARLY this year. Worse comes to worse, I will be voting down at my polling center. I already have a plan for that too in case it is a mess.

I am not playing around. I am in it to win it. I am gonna vote come hell or high water. And you can bet your sweet ass, if I have to go stand in any long ass lines, I will be coordinating a group to go down to vote, make it fun, and ensure accountability.
