Day 1 of Jeffco in-person yesterday: 789 votes.
In 2018: 52.
In 2016: 212.
Anecdotally, most in-person voters yesterday did not need to be there (many surrendered their mail ballots when they came in), but preferred in-person "for security." Few thoughts:
1) You do you. We'll take your vote however you want to cast it!
2) Drop boxes and mail have worked securely for 97%+ of our voters for 7 years. Nothing has changed. And we still recommend voting by drop box if you have your ballot.
3) While our model saved us from having any real lines yesterday, like many states had on day 1 of in-person voting, we WILL have lines in two weeks if the trend continues of people coming in who do not need to. So as always, however you choose to vote, we recommend voting early!
