The MAGAs are attacking the election system in my state (Georgia) so hard that, at this point, I'm starting to worry about mail-in ballots being fraudulently thrown out because of false claims of signature mismatch.

If you do it early enough, it shouldn't be an issue. I've had my vote thrown out because of signature and I just had to confirm it was me. Georgia is gonna Georgia though, they're going to try stuff at the live polls too.

I voted in Colorado a couple years back. I had moved here several months before. I had all the documents to prove residency. 3 months after the election, I got a letter saying that a (conservative asshole) group had challenged my vote and it was thrown out, and was told I could go to court and prove I was legal to vote but also if I did so it threatened me with jail or fines if it didn’t work. It was 3 months after the election and it had all been counted already, so why tf would I do that?

Yeah, I plan to do in-person early voting rather than take my chances with mail-in voting.

Yeah I live in a state turned red by gerrymandering and brain drain (Ohio) and I won’t vote by mail because I’m not certain it’ll be counted if the legislature doesn’t like what the mail votes do. Our legislators love ignoring our votes.
