I know polls are now closed but...Can I please stress not to push election fraud conspiracy theories or for anyone to take it out on officials if their mail in was cancelled?
One of the main issues is people not putting the date on their ballot and/or envelope or putting their birthdate instead. It's up to the voter to read the instructions given. Those envelopes MUST be dated or they will not be counted. Elections are heavily audited. Any undated ballots that get counted? That county will be accused of FRAUD.
I did mail ins while in college. If my ADHD brained self could follow instructions and do it properly, I'm sure everyone on this thread can too! READ the instructions. If you're having trouble with it you need to have someone there to explain the instructions to you.
Source: Friends and family involved in election/polling process. Please be kind! The people at your local polling places are your neighbors! They don't get paid much for doing this. I worked at my local polling place a few times before and it was a great experience. Neither they nor your election officials deserve your ire. Many poll workers and election officials are fearing for their safety because of crazy conspiracy theories being spread. They're not trying to suppress your vote! They're following the law.
Please, please be kind! I hope everyone who had issues with their mail in was able to a provisional. Please take care.
