5. We have had the option since the 2020 primary and all elections since

Oct 6

so a minimum of 9 elections ,plus a bunch of Counties/municipalities across the state have had special elections added in there too, so I think we are okay. Most people STILL vote "in person" on election day (mail ballots have been running about 1/3rd of the total votes cast since 2020, where 2020 was a bit higher due to the pandemic and a lack of polling places).

The one main PITA is that the GOP here have been blocking the ability to "pre-canvass" (remove ballots from envelopes and stack them for feeding into the scanners) until literally election day when the polls open at 7 am. So the final votes for this election won't be known until a few days after election day.
