Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way

Is mail in ballots safe? Or will they get lost? I plan on early voting but I am not sure which would be ok early or mail in
Depends which state you are in
That's my concern. NY. My ballot is most certainly marked somehow as republican. I can't find an obvious marking. I will probably just early vote instead. I asked for the mail in ballot just incase.
Being in NY, I would say mail in ballots aren't the most safe way to vote as we've seen in the past they can get thrown away. If there is an R marking, for sure don't mail it in.
The mail in is only a contingency plan. I wanna vote early but if say my registration is erased, I atleast have that as a backup.

I get that. I am doing as instructed. My question is are mail in ballots safe, or should I just vote early? I have my mail in ballot, but plan to vote early. The mail in ballot is contingency planning.
