Like Jerry, we procrastinated and missed the mail in deadline so we dropped them off at the drop box in front of the municipal building. Our town actually live streamed the tabulation of early votes. I think there were three days prior to the election where they would tabulate the votes received by mail and in the drop box and you could watch the process. Being able to count those votes as they came in seems to make sense. I'm not sure why some states chose to not let the tabulation begin prior to election day. Who am I kidding , of course I know why, i just think it's stupid.
