My state has had two local elections since the debacle a couple of years ago (you know which one I'm talking about). They send EVERYONE a request for mail-in ballot, so I kept mine and carried it with me when I went IN-PERSON to vote. ID is NOT required in my state yet I show mine anyway. They handed me my ballot and I voted. I was hoping someone would say I already voted by mail just so I could show them the "request" I brought with me.
I prefer to do in-person voting, on the DAY, rather than mail-in (because you never know how that will turn out, especially if someone votes for you). I understand there are people that are unable to go to the polls but that should be VERY limited.
So, if you get a request for a mail-in ballot, hang on to it and bring it with you to the poll when you vote.
Keep this in mind:

I never thought of that. Thanks.
