for US voters who didn't, why didn't you vote early through the mail? (sh.itjust.works)

Just curious since it seems so much easier and less stressful during any election cycle to fill out a form and mail it in during your free time.

that's a good point.

has anything significantly swayed your local election preferences this year?

feel free to make up an analog situation to avoid revealing anything personal.

Well, a good scandal might have come along to take out a few of the candidates, though that didn't happen afaik. Other than that, I mean, what is the hurry? I don't follow politics all that closely anyway, but there are a few local organizations that I like, so I figure on mostly going by their endorsements. It usually takes me about an hour to fill in the ballot.

I like voting early just so I get confirmation my vote was counted and if anything goes wrong I have a few weeks to deal with it.

your method sounds good too.
