I do this anyways. Why would I pay postage to have something brought to a distribution center 20 miles away, wait a few days, then brought back to my town to get delivered to town hall when I can literally walk there and drop it off for free?

Because time is money? first class postage is only 55 cents, that's hard to beat from a dollars per hour spent perspective.

Time may be money to some, but my time is fresh air and not supporting wasteful transport systems if I can avoid it.

With everything coming out about how mail in ballots are being delayed and otherwise messed with and who knows what else is in store, what is the value of ensuring your vote gets counted relative to your time dropping it off personally?

That seems the more pertinent question.

In my state all voting is by mail. The postage is pre paid but you can drop off your ballot if you wish.

I drop mine off at the neighbor's house up the street too. It's a short walk, nice time to go outside and the times I go it's only one or two other people there.

I just prefer to be vote by mail so I can fill it out at home without being rushed.
