Most locations seem to have advance in-person polling available; I’d say voting in person early would eliminate the danger of our ballots being “losted” in the mail, or being closed out at the polling place due to Covid and crowding. It’s an important piece of strategy; interested in everyone’s take.
New Mexico has early voting starting 30 days ahead of the general election. Also voting at your own precinct has been eliminated. Instead you can choose to vote at any of multiple locations throughout the county. They are all connected by computer to the county records and will print a ballot with your district/precinct candidates on the spot for you. The paper ballot is marked with a Sharpie permanent marker and fed to a reader. At the end of the day, the reader totals are read out and if discrepancies occur, the paper ballots are retrieved and counted.
All very efficient EXCEPT that absentee ballots are not run by machine and counted until after the polls close. The Dems in NM wanted mail in ballots and same day registration; they didn't get it this past legislative session as enough old school Dems saw the possibility for fraud. Instead in the primary election in June the radicals ran against the remaining conservative Dems and beat them all. So now it's up to Pubs to get those blue-dog Dems to vote red this fall.
