Concerned about mail-in ballot

i have concerns this dipshit president and his ilk are going to in some way effect mail-in ballots this year. I have already received mine, but think it will be better to vote in person. Is there anything I can do to void my ballot and vote in person? Thanks for any help!

If you have already received your ballot, then that's it. That's your ballot.

You can still go vote in person, but you will have to vote provisionally. This means filling out an application for the election staff and the canvassers and ultimately the local board to approve after they have checked to make sure that you voted the correct contests and that your mail in ballot has *not* been received. Then, in what is probably one of the final days of canvass, which could be several days after the actual election, they will count your ballot.

Or, you can fill out your Mail-in ballot that you just received and put it directly in a drop box, if you don't trust the USPS.

If you continue to believe you will be uncomfortable with mail in voting, I would also reccomend looking in to canceling future mail in ballots, in case you are on the permanent list.
