There is much inaccurate and incorrect "information" being put out there about mail in voter fraud -- with the only intent to scare people and suppress the vote. Don't fall for it. Fraud -- in all methods of voting, including mail -- is extremely low aa validated by The Heritage Foundation, which is a conservative organization known to be reliable and accurate. The fact is that, in Florida, every citizen in our state is afforded, by law, the right to vote early or by no excuse absentee mail ballot. And it has been this way for a number of years and has a proven track record of being safe and secure. To vote by no excuse absentee mail ballot, the registered voter must request a ballot be sent to them. A reason why you want to vote by that method is not required (this is the no excuse part) so also you do not have to succumb to others who may be pressuring you to vote they way they want you or badgering you to tell them why you can't go to the polls. Again, state law guarantees your right to early voting and no excuse mail in absentee voting.

By the way, I am not a Republican or a Democrat -- but a lifelong registered Independent who is passionate about every American citizen having their right to vote protected. And am appalled at some of the shenanigans going on right now in an attempt to suppress our vote. Don't let it happen. Pick the method of voting that feels right and safe to you and go for it -- whether it is in person, early, or by mail -- exercise your right to vote. What is important is to CAST YOUR VOTE!
