"VOTE EARLY OR SHOW UP! There are people trying to trick us into thinking that our votes won't be counted. No matter who you are, if you are eligible and registered to vote, practice that right.

And return it ON TIME (check your state's deadline) in the mail or at an official drop-off location. Some jurisdictions even let you track your ballot online. Or show up to your nearest poll and STAY until you vote."
