Low and behold there was an article in this AM’s DS about the pre sealed being a problem.

They are all the same-same. Different names for the same thing. Just gets people confused and able to point fingers at other states and how they handle the SAME thing. It is ALL mail-in voting, a thing of the future.

Very true. Great post!

Sounds fishy. Is it a ballot you requested?

So, you take your mail in ballot that you received in the mail, that was handled by how many people, fill it out and stand in line with a bunch of people to be told to go inside and HAND it to another person? Hmmm, now that's a great idea of how to avoid the virus. I mean, early voting this month when there is hardly anyone in the line, that is spaced six feet and then waiting until someone calls you to the table that has masked persons checking your ID and handing you a ballot, where you then use a segregated booth to fill it out and then put it in the machine yourself. Some folks will go to a lot of trouble to accomplish the same exact thing.
I'll be voting in person. I will wear my mask and handle a paper ballot that only one person will have touched (likely with gloves) and I will insert it into the machine that has a meter on it where I can see my vote register and counted by the machine.
Gotta love that mass hysteria that has people hiding in their bomb shelters or running amok screaming "the sky is falling." This a great sociology experiment and will be in future text books.

Not so that question was asked at Board of Elections today and we were told by people collecting ballots that we did not need to put a stamp on it

We visit the Library a couple times a week, so we dropped it today and picked up books. Don't see an advantage of voting in person or early if there is a faster way and can do multiple stuff (breakfast at Darrells was also part of the run)

Your mail in ballot requires two Forever stamps, not just one. I read on the gov. site that it requires $.70 postage Someone in Marion county told me that theirs do not require postage but Sumter does.
