Nov 1

I mailed it on Friday, October 27th and received a notification on October 28th that my ballot had been accepted and counted.

In years past, I had put it in the secure drop box at my local branch of the county library. However, I had read the post on DU about the ballot drop box in Arizona getting torched, and also that messages had been shared on $hitter that various liquids that could spoil ballots were discussed, so I decided to take it inside at the post office.

And then there were attacks on ballot boxes in Washington and Oregon. So, I am super glad that I decided to take my ballot directly to the post office.

Thank you, DU!

Wishing everyone safety and the best of luck in voting.

I forgot to add: I voted a straight blue ticket. Been doing that for 52 years.
