Well that’s rude of time to work that way.
I’ve literally never cast a ballot in person. Absentee ballots in college and then I moved to Oregon, which votes exclusively by mail. It’s an amazing system. They text you when your ballot is in the mail, when they receive it, and when it’s counted.

North Oaks is the only city in the U.S. not on Google Street View. Because homeowners own the roads too, Google can't map them. So Chris Parr flew a drone through the city, got it on Street View. Interesting experiment in who gets or affords privacy vs those who don't www.404media.co/mapping-goog...

That figure would far surpass the costs of the U.S. airstrike campaign to date and aims to boost production of critical weapons depleted in the conflict, people familiar with the matter said.

Alito strongly implied that vote-by-mail, as practiced in most of the country today, is highly susceptible to fraud. Gorsuch and Thomas leaned in that direction as well. Barrett and Roberts are harder to read.
