I've already made up my mind who I'm voting for (unlike this year's primary where I waited until the last week to do so, and now can no longer mock people who are "undecided" until the last minute)

However, I am still going to vote ON Election Day. I certainly don't trust the "vote by mail" that the mainstream media/RATS are pushing hard for. I would be OK with Early Voting in person if I didn't live in Crook County. But I do live in Crook, so its vote in person on election day, via paper ballot only.

Some articles have been saying the third party candidates have a weak bench this year. I feel its the opposite. 2016 was the worst for me because I was not only dissatisfied with the major party candidates, but the third party nominees sucked balls as well ("Libertarian" Gary Johnson picked big government RINO Bill Weld as his running mate, Egg McMuffin was running as the "more conservative" alternative to Trump, even though his views on the issues were to the LEFT of Trump, etc., etc.)

2020 is a whole different ballgame. Jo Jorgensen, at least on paper, was the first Libertarian candidate since Michael Badnarik in 2004 to be an ACTUAL Libertarian, and could have made some inroads into swing voters by being the "female alternative to two old white men" that the major parties are running (of course, Jorgensen blew it and committed Seppuku by getting in bed with the Burn Loot Murder movement). I was surprised to find out this week there also seems to be a genuinely decent conservative third party (basically what the Constitution Party always aimed for but missed out by running neo-confederate loons, young-earth creationists, and "only evangelical protestant Christians should be in CP" type candidates). in the form of the American Solidarity Party, which is on the ballot in Illinois. They were inspired by Lech Walesa's 1980s movement in Poland to create a US equivalent -- a blue-collar organization lead by workers that is for traditional social values (pro-life, pro-traditional marriage, etc.), a free market economy, and anti-marxism. If Trump had turned to be an awful NYC RINO like I (wrongly) predicted, those guys would have my vote. As it stands, I hope they stick around for future elections when the GOP nominee is a Mark Kirk type scumbag.

The touchscreens print a paper ballot now and you carry it over and cast it. I don’t think election day procedure is any different. Voting no on (most) judges is a pain in neck the using a marker. Do they still use those old ballots? I haven’t voted on election day since 2016 general. Early voting is all touchscreen.
