While you're looking under your mattress, drag out those cases of old-school paper ballots. We will need them this November.

Yes on paper ballots. Get an Absentee ballot, Just in Case. Cancel it if you want to vote in person [write cancel on Ballot and envelope, put 2 scissor cuts on ballot] and turn it in if you go to the polls. You will have to turn it in to vote.

At least you'll have a Ballot. Request quickly, the window is closing.

I don't know if every Californian gets a mailed ballot these days, but in my county we have gotten them for a number of years. I just received mine a couple of days ago. You have the option of mailing them back (no thanks) or dropping them off at a number of local drop boxes (no thanks), but I always return mine to the country elections office box which is in their lobby and available during working hours. I believe they also have an option of voting in person at that location as well. Of course, who knows what might happen after that.

In FL, we don't have mail in ballots where everyone gets a ballot. They call it Vote by Mail, but its really Absentee Voting. You have to Request a Ballot. Your request is good for 18 months, I think, if you so choose.

A few years ago....at least 6 or 7 it seems to me....California claimed out county was part of an "experiment" in mailed ballots. Then it became permanent, apparently.
