A Good Error

I’m concerned that many mail-in ballots will be disqualified, because zero errors are permitted.  You might mail in a ballot with an error unknowingly, only to have your ballot disqualified and not know it.

Unfortunately, I did make an error completing my ballot.  Since I could no longer vote-by-mail, I went to the Courthouse and stood in line for a while, but I got to vote and get back to the car within an hour.  The worst part was wearing a mask on a hot day and maintaining social distancing but well worth it.

In retrospect, I wouldn’t waste my time requesting a mail-in ballot.  It’s too easy to get outside on a nice day and get it over with!
