This thread echoes my many reasons for being glad we’re on permanent vote-by-mail status. Paper ballot, with scantron-style boxes. Early voting supported (I get my ballot some weeks in advance), and the opportunity to vote at my leisure, and in the presence of my children if I desire (though I keep my particular choices secret.) Drop off at City Hall in a lockbox in advance, or at any polling place on election day, with no waiting and the reward sticker.
Will have a new voter aged in in time for next year’s general election, and I want to demystify the process.
