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 don’t mail it and vote in person there is nothing you need to do. I mail mine and track it on the web to confirm my vote.

If you don't mail it in and instead vote in person, your in-person vote is provisional and won't be counted unless a race is close enough to use that ballot.

That is not true. Provisional ballots are counted after validation https://elections.maryland.gov/voting/provisional_voting.html

Will my provisional ballot count?

Provisional ballots are reviewed and counted even if they will not change the outcome of an election. Election officials start counting provisional ballots on the 2nd Wednesday after each election. Your ballot will be counted if you are a registered voter, were eligible to vote by provisional ballot, and met any other applicable requirements (see above).

If you voted in the wrong county during early voting or at the wrong polling place on election day, only part of your provisional ballot will count. Election officials will count those contests or ballot questions that appear on the ballot where you live.

Not in Maryland, in Virginia
