Someone I know went to vote (early voting) and when they went to get their ballot, the poll workers could not find any record of them at all. After a lot of digging they finally found that the person was marked as deceased.

Uh oh.

This is a man who sent over 3800 texts, he has self-described that the text messages were โ€œ flirtyโ€ before he started talking about soccer again. This is a 12-13 year old girl with conversations that went until 1-3 am some days.

He was suspended from duties as coach, but still allowed to go to the youth girls soccer games. He filmed yesterday during a confrontation with concerned parents. He tried saying the texts, HE described as โ€œ flirtyโ€ were taken out context.

So, as someone with a lot of anxiety, what's it like in person? Early or day of, I'm hoping to work up to Early voting but in-person in general, what is the process?

Just wanted to edit to thank everyone already. I know realistically it's fine, but really thank you for all the input for me and anyone else worried, I appreciate both the gentle, full explanations, and the more direct "you go and you do" responses

Politics ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ No issue with mailing absentee ballot

0 Upvotes

Seems like every day I'm reading about conspiracy theories involving USPS and absentee ballots, especially in Democratic strongholds.

I live in Detroit. I received my absentee ballot on September 18th. I mailed it on October 20th. The clerk's office confirmed it was received by them on October 22nd. Same experience for my wife.

That is all. I'm not saying there aren't problems with our civic infrastructure, but I remain convinced that the vast majority of issues would be resolved if people would simply work within the system and trust that the pieces will work as described.
