...our state has no option other than mail in. We have drop boxes near the courthouse which I will use for the first time ever. But even before all mail, my polling place was in the gym of a very rural and historic country school house. There were always more workers than voters and maybe only 10 ppl at the most in there at one time.

If you can safely vote in person do it..those votes will be counted faster.
