Don’t be afraid of vote-by-mail y’all.
Be sure to get you papers in order. Have an ID when you vote. Bring water too. If you have a cell phone (who doesn’t, right) you can use maps to find your polling place.
All totally unnecessary. Your ballot will come in the mail. Fill it out. Mail it in or use a drop box.
If you mail in your Ballot…
Take it to your Post Office and have the clerk hand stamp it with the time and date. Then take a picture of it before you drop it in the mail box.
You now have proof of when your Ballot was mailed.
California has ‘Ballot Tracking’ which is an app that allows you to follow your Ballot from your Post Office to when your VOTE is accepted and counted.
If you go to VOTE at a Ballot Center or Election Center, try to take a friend or two.
WE NEED to VOTE VOTE VOTE!!
It IS our right as an American!
