I got mailed an unasked for ballot but never opened the envelope. I went in person and saw many people had filled out their ballots and brought them in person to drop off. So, there was no need to mail it in anyway. One of the workers went down the line of voters and advised everyone had filled out their mail in ballot to bring it forward to drop off.  Those who failed to bring in a ballot got to go inside where they provided a machine to vote on which then printed out a ballot document which was dropped in a box. Boxes already filled out were sealed and stacked up right there on the floor in plain sight.  Several other issues I found curious. First, no one working the polls here in California is allowed to ask for ID. They handed out a small slip of paper down the line for us to fill out our identification, (If you have a list of people to identify as you could even substitute one of those names so that's a problem) and then when you get to the front of the line they fill out another paper and direct you to a machine after you sign the second paper with your identification details.  On the first slip of paper I was handed outside is a small box to check off if you want permanent mailed ballot. The problem is, you can of course check the box off but if you don't, who is to stop someone from checking that box for you after you sign the document. I told the election worker this but he assured me no one would ever do that because they are completely honest and non political. Of course I completely believed him, right? I asked him about the legality of this first document and he told me it was because of covid. Seriously? He told me Gavin Newsome ordered it. Really? Where's Gavin get authority to do this under emergency when, first of all, covid is basically over and second by law you can only have a state of emergency for 60 days and third, Gavin's executive orders regarding covid were just lost in an injunction on election day.  And think about this, if it's all about covid then why was I not challenged for not wearing a mask? No one said a word to me about a mask. Why? Because it's over. But Gavin is not going to tell us and the media is not going to say it and the stores have no idea so many still request people to wear a mask.
