Mail in ballots are just fine. If people are concerned about the mail, take your ballot and drop it off at your Recorder's Office or an identified drop box for ballots. Check with your County Recorder and your State to determine how votes are received, registered, and counted. For example, in Arizona, your mail in vote is counted when it is received starting two weeks prior to the election. It all depends on your state.

The in person vote is no guarantee that things age going to be on the up and up as well. I have a contact in Georgia who voted in person this past weekend and they ran into technical difficulties in getting their vote registered. Those technical difficulties were the individual's vote NOT registering for the candidate they selected and having it changed to the other candidate. This twice, on two different machines, and took a third machine to have their vote for Biden finally registered. There are going to be a lot of shenanigans happening out there, and a paper ballot is the best option to work with.

Having said that I saw a bit of John Bolton on CNN and they asked him if he was worried about the succession of power if it happens. He said something like Trump might not go quietly but from his conversations with those in the party they will stand behind the vote and ensure he leaves. As more of an aside his interview was pretty interesting. They asked him who he was voting for and he said he wasn't voting for Trump, but also not voting for Biden and he doesn't agree with the Dems.

Bolton disclosed on another show he submitted his mail in ballot and he wrote in Ronald Reagan. To repeat what I have stated numerous times, people like this are not part of the solution, they are the problem. You only have two choices, so make your vote count by selecting the best of the two options.

He followed that by saying something like he stands for conservative values and doesn't believe Trump is a conservative or a Republican which is a fundamental reason (beyond Trump being an idiot and a dick to him) that he can't vote for him. They didn't follow up and ask him who he will vote for but I guess there isn't much option. He also said he would be voting Republican for Senate as he wants to ensure the Dems don't get control of all three sides.

This is the bigger problem. The down ticket choices are just as enabling. When you vote to support the guys who have enabled Trump, you are voting for Trump. When you vote for the guys who provide support for evil to happen, you are voting for evil.
