5. Me too; I'd planned to vote in person early

but with the uptick in cases, the long lines, etc. we decided to submit our mail-in ballots instead. Dropped off last week to external box at Board of Election around 11 am; by 6 pm I got email that my ballot had been "accepted and will be counted."

I'm having a bit of regret at not voting in person (first time in my long life), especially because filling in those 79 judicial race circles by hand took forever! Much faster on the new electronic machines.
