I think we MUST vote in person. Vote early if you can, but even on election day . . . .

20. Yep. I recommend voting in person IF your state uses paper ballots for in-person voting.

If you state uses electronic voting machines, please vote by mail-in or absentee ballot if possible so there will be a paper trail. If concerned about mailing your ballot, drop it off at a ballot box instead if that's an option.

That fact that Trump disparages mail-in ballots at every turn while at the same time encourages his supporters to use them is a big tell. Something is definitely rotten. When he talks about the election being rigged, you can bet that he's projecting (like he always does). I have no doubt that Putin's hackers are working around the clock to hack the voting machines.

Paper ballots leave a trail that will be important in the event of a recount. And while paper ballots aren't perfect as the machines that optically scan them can potentially be hacked (especially if they transmit the results via a modem), the paper ballot serves as a backup that can be used to verify the results. So please, vote with a paper ballot if possible. If not, vote by machine if that is your only option. But whatever you do, VOTE. Just VOTE, dammit.
