> (Sep 30, 2020) Tracked Scott County absentee ballot and found when it was mailed...After it arrived, completed it, and secured it in the envelopes provided...decided
to deliver it instead of mailing it ...took it to one of the locations listed (link to listing of Scott County locations - look at bottom of that web page) to drop off...the clerk there received the ballots (was delivering 3 from our household
so had to print their names AND addresses and sign for each)...took back the ballots from the clerk who had validated each and deposited each in the ballot box...and was done...without using the mail. And no one else was in
line! Have already voted!!!
