With all the noise that the November 3rd Presidential
Election results will be contested regardless who wins the electoral college, it
is imperative that our votes be secure throughout the process.
Here are a few suggestions:
1. Vote in person; do it during early voting to avoid
the rush. Don’t forget your mask. Have your voter’s registration card with you,
your ID, and in order to do it quickly and safely, take a marked sample ballot with
you where you have preselected your choices.
2. If you have a mail-in ballot and your
voting place will take marked ballots, make sure you take your ballot, your registration card, you
ID, and a mask to the drop off, but do not hand it to anyone but a registered
poll worker.
3. If you have a mail-in ballot but you prefer
to mail it, don your mask and walk into the post office. Do not drop it
into the mailbox. Go early and tell the clerk you want to witness her stamp the
date on your ballot. Ask for the clerk’s name and record the date and time you left
it in their care. It may seem extreme but we do it all the time we mail a
package we want treated with extra care.
4. If you are a Postal Worker, make sure the date is marked on the
mail-in ballot and place it separate, ensuring it is in a secure place where it
cannot be tampered, misplaced, or forgotten before it reaches its destination. Any
discrepancy makes the PO accountable during this contentious election.
5. If you work in the local elections’
office, mark the
date the mail-in ballot was delivered to the office; separate and secure it so
it cannot be tampered, misplaced, or forgotten both before and after the
election since ballots will be recounted and audited before this is all over.
Let’s all do our part to ensure we
did our part to play fair during this upcoming election, and leave no doubt
that the people elected who they wanted to represent them.
