Now is a good time to register with your state to receive a mail-in ballot. They're safe and maintain election integrity. More mail-in ballots means smaller lines and less crowding (spreading of Covid) at the polls.
My governor is refusing to send mail-in ballots out, only the request forms to ask for one. He is requiring all polling places be open as normal, including multiple full day early voting sites per county for a week before the election.
More locations and failing to give everyone mail in ballots will lead to understaffed locations with longer lines. Get your ballot to help reduce those issues.

I vote in person. I'm hardcore like that.

I have voted in person for every election since I was 18. I'm 48 now and taking care of my 86 year old mom with dementia, bad heart, and diabetes ; I'm going to " wimp out" and mail it in this time because of the virus.

I've always voted in person. In fact took my son in the primaries because it was his first time. I'll probably do the same in November too but it's a rural location so it won't be too bad. And we will be wearing our masks.

Going to go ahead and point out the massive voter fraud. At least I think, I'm pretty sure. Just going by what prez says, or is calling for.

I've voted by mail a couple of times, but it is usually because I work full-time and take classes which means finding time to get to the polls is difficult. My work day on these days has been 12+ hours because of classes and such, so I qualified for an absentee ballot. This year we have no excuse early voting and I plan to take advantage of it.

My polling station is a four minute drive away, but I plan to early vote by mail this year. Already requested it a few weeks ago and waiting to hear confirmation.

White Nationalist Stephen Miller went onto Fox today to spread lies about mail in voting
https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/31/politics/mail-voting-verification-stephen-miller-fact-check/index.html
He claimed "Nobody who mails in a ballot has their identity confirmed. Nobody checks to see if they're even a US citizen. Think about that." He also said that the House HEROES Act bars voter identification.
He also violate the Hatch Act during the interview by criticizing Joe Biden

I'd prefer to, but we have like 1 location here in Lexington. F that. I'm used to going to the church down the street and being in and out in 4 minutes. I ain't standing in line at Kroger Field for lord knows how long.

And he will get away with his lies because lying has become the bread and butter of the GOP.

and speaking on the Hatch Act violation, the Office of Special Counsel can't really do anything beyond recommend that repeated offenders be fired, which they won't be because Trump wants them to keep doing it.
