Joan, I have voted by mail in the last two elections. I must say I do miss the ceremony and camaraderie of walking the two blocks to my little town’s (pop 1200) voting site. No waiting in line, chatting with the poll workers, a nod & smile at my neighbors. That part I miss, but know the ease of voting by mail. Needing to “make sure” it got there (even if early!) and despite several nearby drop boxes, I drove to the county elections office to put it in the drop box right outside the entrance….wanted to be as close to the endpoint as possible! I don’t EVER want to take my right to vote for granted.
