Far too many steps, each one of which can go wrong or simply fail to occur. This is a very Rube Goldberg kind of "system" if all you want to do is vote. What if a deputy does NOT show up? What if the deputy ignores your claim and thinks it's beyond his/her jurisdiction? Just too many links in this. It's almost Byzantine in its many pieces and parts.

I just show up for early voting, bank my vote in case anything happens that I can't make it on election day, and trust the system BECAUSE I live in east Tennessee where we have an excellent election process.
