If you are going to vote by mail, please mail your vote early. As soon as you get the ballot fill it out and send it back. Fill it out with care and read the directions carefully. I've been reading about a lot of legal fighting about how ballots will be counted. Republicans don't want ballots that arrive after election day to count. This ought not happen, but it's best to just get it over with.

Abundance of caution.

@futurebird overseas voters in some states can avoid USPS mail delay issues by sending their ballot via fax, which (in Sarasota county at least) generates an immediate reply from the board of elections acknowledging receipt.

@th @futurebird via @ZaneSelvans , I learn of delays with some electronic ballot submission systems.

All the more reason to vote early to give as much time as possible to ensure receipt.

@michael_w_busch Thankfully it was a transient issue! I was able to submit my CO ballot this morning.
