Jul 2020

I have voted by mail--with no problems--for decades. But today I was thinking that when I get my ballot and it's done, I will take it to one of the drop off points myself. Just to be double sure that there is no funny stuff about things getting lost, or too damaged to deliver, late postmarks etc. Normally I'd mail it as usual, but this year I'm not taking any chances. I'm in Calif, so really it should be safe, but still....taking no chances. A friend has said she's doing the same, so maybe the idea will spread.
