POLL RESULT: Do You Trust Mail-in Voting?

We're 19 days away from the 2020 General Election and for the first time ever, most people will vote through the mail as opposed to going to a polling station. Ballots here in Gallatin County were mailed out to voters last week.

Critics of mail-in voting say the system is ripe for fraud. Proponents of the system believe it's fair and that it is safer to vote from home since we find ourselves in the middle of a pandemic. In our poll question this week, we asked the XL Nation if they trust mail-in voting. Here are the results:

Thanks to everyone who participated in our poll!

Programming note: Gallatin County Election Administrator Eric Semerad, will join Dave & Ally on the XL Morning Show Monday at 7:40 a.m. to talk about voting here locally in the upcoming election.
