The problem is: Who is counting the votes? Can we ever be sure your vote is counted correctly?
If you vote in person (early or on Election Day) and put the correctly filled-out ballot in the machine yourself, it will be counted as you directed, unless things go more haywire than have ever happened in the USA.
If you mail in your ballot, all sorts of things might happen to it, as we’ve found out in the news! And in some cases, not-so-brigth people have been directed to fill out their ballot in a certain way, as we’ve also found out in the news.
If they news has caught some of these shenanigans, hopefully the vast majority of ballot misdirections will be caught on Election Day and the days after, and/or the courts will backstop any vote fraud. Lord have Mercy!!!!
