When the wife and i were younger we always voted on Election Day proper, but when we reached 75 years old a few years back, we both got a notice From the Florida SOS telling us we could switch to Mail-In ballots once we reached 75. So...that is what we. did. It does make life easier for us!!! But, I understand your feelings because that is exactly the way we felt...too!!!
I understand, and I should have made the additional caveat that “as long as I am well enough to get myself to the polls, I will go on election day.”
