My ballot wasnt delivered to me by USPS, so I got a new one from the county clerk.
Will probably vote this weekend and drop off the ballot early next week. The ballot is clogged up with a bunch of direct democracy stuff.
(All you people who say "we're not a democracy" are wrong, and there's the proof.)

We brought our ballots to our county voting location last week (35 minutes from home). The ballots have been verified per the voting website. Because we had our ballots filled out and in the proper envelope, we went to the front of the line. Otherwise, the wait was about 1/2 hour.

I voted early yesterday about 3:30.
Frankly, I did so because I just wanted to get it over with. I'm sickened that that I have no respect for anyone on the ballot, but I did vote for someone.
This has been a HUGELY depressing political season for me.

We voted Wednesday. We were thinking of voting by mail but Trump's interference with the operations of the Post Office ended that idea.
We voted early because we did not want to be intimidated by good old boys with guns (why do they call themselves "good," anyway?) We voted in the part of town where they are least likely to be (wich, coincidentally, is near our home) and got in and out quickly.
Voters have to be on the ball to beat Trump at his own game.

I suspect that we have reached the point where we should stop mailing in ballots. If we have mail in ballots, they should be personally delivered to drop boxes or voting sites. The mail is simply in danger of not being delivered by Election Day. Some states rely on the postmark; others do not. Those who have changed the policy as an emergency are being challenged in the courts (and are losing).
Several areas are have over 30% of mail being delayed by at least 5 days. Of course, there will be federal efforts of delay as we get closer to the election.

Many people I know (as a senior citizen) started out planning on voting by mail. We are not complete hermits but we generally don't do things in person that we can do by mail during the pandemic.
We pretty much all decided we would early vote. Since I live a mile from my polling place, I would just drive by and look for a quiet time. The weather was cold and rainy on the first day of early voting but lots of people went nevertheless.
If there are convenient drop boxes I'd suggest mail voters use the drop boxes. We would have had to go to the courthouse and walk inside, so early voting was better.

Just be careful that the drop boxes are legitimate. There are cases in CA (I think) in which the GOP there installed a bunch of illegal boxes in certain areas and a lot of people used them thinking they were the real deal.
