Reply to comment by ak47workaccnt in If anyone is still confused by any of the ballot questions, the Center for State Policy Analysis at Tufts did a nice write-up on each one. by thomastodon01027

Just easier for me. Maybe it's the ADHD but I'm terrible at getting through the mail in a timely manner and voting by mail often involves... logistical complexities. Remember to fill it out, remembering to put in the envelope, remembering to take the envelope with me when I leave the house, just... lots of possible points of failure for my scattered brain to mess things up.

Voting in person I can literally do in 5 minutes on my way back from Dunks in the morning and its done, very little in the way of logistical effort involved and no distractions for the duration of the process. Walk in, say my address twice and my name once, go where I'm told, do what I'm told, and then I'm done.

It's definitely the ADHD. Forget one day about your mail in ballot, no problem. Forget one day about vote in person, better luck next year.

Forgetting to mail in the ballot is a lot easier than forgetting to vote in person, though, for me! I'm a lot more likely to forget to mail it in several times over several weeks, even with reminders, than I am to actually stop in and vote. I've actually tried to vote by mail several times now and have yet to succeed.

Also, with early voting in this state you can get a second chance sometimes even if you're the sort of person who prefers to vote in person. :D
