Just curious since it seems so much easier and less stressful during any election cycle to fill out a form and mail it in during your free time.

    It’s easier and less stressful for me to vote in person. My polling place is like a two block walk and there’s rarely a line, plus I know there’s no room for shenanigans to disenfranchise me.

    Mail in voting seems more complicated, although my state mails them out by default and it’s probably just lack of familiarity. Anyway, in person is easy and pleasant so I don’t see any reason to change.

    I don’t know if I’d need to buy stamps but I’m already late for my new lawn care guy because he insists I need to mail him a check but I haven’t had stamps in years and he’s about the only check I write

    This year is the first time it’s complicated though. My older kid is voting for the first time and I want to vote with him for that milestone. He’s at college but didn’t follow up with mail in voting so we have to figure out the logistics of getting him home on a school/work day

      oh great. yeah that totally makes sense.

      I always waited in lines lines in an uncomfortable, stressful atmosphere, so I prefer the quietude at my own time in my own home.

      Good luck with your son, I’m sure you guys will figure it out.
