Before voting early, ask your Elections Official where early votes “reside” prior to the election, who’s responsible for maintaining their security, etc. Lots of opportunities for funny business with early and absentee voting. Probably no big deal, but just a good idea to check it out and confirm that your vote will be counted on Election Day.

I was in charge of elections for a major city back in the ‘80s and heard horror stories. Maybe it’s better since paper ballots are pretty much gone, but I still worry.

If we lose faith in the integrity in our elections, we will have anarchy.

I do not like our current method here of an electronic-touch-screen-only machine.

Our prior method was to mark a paper ballot that was optically scanned, and I liked it a lot better.

If questions of funny-business arise now, there is no paper ballot to go back to.

Just the 1’s and 0’s on a hard drive.
