I’ve voted in person a few times. But I absolutely prefer mail in. I can calmly, quietly, and thoroughly look through the options on the ballot. In person I feel rushed and judged.
Exactly! I do it in front of my computer where I can research candidates and issues. If I went to a polling station, I wouldn’t have the time to do that research. I tend to spend 30 min or more on my ballot, even though I’m pretty sure I can accurately predict the results of the election before even looking at the ballot (in my area, the R will win; if it’s not a partisan office, the incumbent will win; if it’s a yes/no, it’ll be yes, unless it’s something I actually want, in which case no).
This is why I love mail voting.
I have never actually voted in-person, I just don’t have the time for that.

Every part of it is better with mail in ballot.

I don’t even have to pay postage!
Look at you, fancypants. :)
