Ballot drop boxes have been torched in California, Oregon, and Washington ... If you're voting by mail, my suggestion is you go to your local post office and either drop it off at the front desk or insert it through the mail slot, which is what I did.

@WordsmithFL That's why I don't use the drop boxes.
@WordsmithFL that said, here in Oregon you can track your vote electronically. I know when it's been received and counted.
