Yeah, it's some ancient law regarding voter intimidation. IIRC, people would force others to vote for a particular candidate and they required you to take a picture of your ballot as proof that you followed through.

Ah gotcha. I wasn't sure if it was legal or not in California, but it's not legal here in Ohio.
I got my ballot today, going to fill it out and drop it off. I'm in New Mexico, so it won't count for much, but I'd rather vote and be sure.
Pretty sure by October 25th there was only 5 million votes in 2016. We are blowing it out of the water. Mail in ballots are being returned much quicker in particular plus with drop boxes being so popular it's being gathered quicker and bypassing usps

whoaaaaaaaaaaa. first resemblance of brains cells from this dude. where is this coming from? i want to see it in context and lick his tears
The full clip of what Ted Cruz was saying was that he sees this election as having extreme uncertainty and that he could foresee both a big Trump win if people were feeling optimistic about their future or a big loss of Watergate proportions if people aren't. Cruz was mostly saying he hasn't seen an election like this with such a wide spread between outcomes.
Which is fucking stupid, because there is practically no chance the House flips GOP.
That's really stupid considering it has been polled as one of the most consistent elections in modern history.
My California ballot was counted after a 3-day turnaround, after being dropped off at the county recorder's office. BallotTrax notified me last night at 11 pm via text, email and phone that everything was okay. I would recommend that service if it's available to you.
Mine took about that long to be registered as well; I've read that collections from drop-off boxes happen every 72 hours or so.
Wow, I'm actually... proud of Florida? That just doesn't sound right.
Just received my Ballot by mail yesterday here in AZ. Once I fill it out I'll take it down to the county clerk's office myself on my next day off.
I wish Florida was this enthusiastic during the Gubernatorial Election
I dont think we were anywhere near 8.8 in 2016 this is insane and I'm trying not to get hyped.
I'll cast on election day after work. I live in a rural area it wont be busy.
you must mean 2.4 million and not 24 because that is way more than now if the 8.8 million that has voted early is a record
They said total, as in all the way up to election day. We're still a month out right now.
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they start processing the mail-in/early ballots about a week before the election.
None of them are *counted* until the day of, though. I think some of the other states are allowed to count earlier, so they'll already have a tally going for Biden and Trump votes by the time their polls close.
All the same, the bulk of the early votes should be lumped in with regular ballots. I think the "oh god they'll take WEEKS to count mail-in ballots!" stuff is a little overblown. There'll be some stragglers that are counted later of course, but that happens every year.
What people were asking I think was this time in 2016. 2020 has vastly outperformed 2016 as a snapshot in time. The last numbers I saw were like 2016 had cast like under 20k total votes versus well over a couple million in 2020. I just haven't seen an update since last week or so.
Colorado mail voting started yesterday, as an FYI. Ballots are going out to everyone through this week.

Mine and my parents' ballots have been dropped off and accepted in ME-2. It doesn't look good for Biden in our district but we're hoping we at least help push out Collins in favor of Gideon.
Trump's ultimate last hail mary was to suppress the votes in certain states. If he is not allowed, he is def 100 percent done.
Heh, my mom and stepdad (both in their 60s and voting for the first time here in Florida) texted me a pic of their signed ballots begging when they can drop them off at a dropbox lol.
