Got my absentee

[vercetti2021]

I'm in Texas which normally has limitations on getting one. We signed up for one strictly to piss off Dan Patrick. But I'm thinking of filling it and dropping it over at a precinct. I was going to vote early but...what do y'all think?

Fill this or vote early in person?

1. Anything that has the least risk of your vote being thrown out or lost

Do whichever guarantees you’ll be counted on Election Day

2. Fill it out and tell someone you trust where it is. Then you can vote early or drop it off

and if you die tomorrow when a tire falls off a 777 flying overhead and crushes you while you walk down the sidewalk, you can drift off to Nothingness, comforted in the knowledge that your vote will be dropped in the mail by your friend. If you live to Early Voting, you can cartwheel into the precinct and get your "I Voted" sticker and go home to watch returns.


That's my plan at least.

4. Morbid but a good idea

As I lie there dying. The last words being. Fuck you Trump.

3. Choose Now!

If you show up in person without your mail-in ballot, you will have to vote provisionally. I would fill it out and turn it in now...don't take a chance of car wreck, lightning strike, heart attack, Proud Boys terrorism, etc. etc.

5. Me too (FL). I'll bring it to the Elections Ctr. in the morning.

Then I'll change my avatar to "I VOTED"

6. Know your state law!

Some states won't let you drop it off, or go on to vote in person if you've already requested an absentee ballot.

7. Up to you. Make sure to keep your ballot.

Looks like TX will let you vote in person (early) if you bring your ballot to the polling place so they can cancel it.

"WHAT IF I CHANGE MY MIND AFTER I SENT AN APPLICATION TO VOTE-BY-MAIL; CAN I VOTE IN PERSON INSTEAD?
if you have already requested a Vote-by-Mail ballot, the short answer is yes, you can vote in person as soon as Early Voting starts on October 13, 2020. The process will be more streamlined if you bring your mail-in ballot with you to your polling place so you can give it to the voting clerk before casting your vote. If you don’t have your ballot or never received it, you can still cast a provisional ballot. Your vote will be counted once the county determines it never received your mail-in ballot."
