More from @CISAKrebs #Election2020 & voting early: "Early voting options help from a security/resilience perspective, as we have more opportunities to identify, isolate, investigate, & fix any issues early on. So give your election officials a break and vote early, if you can"

A warning #Election2020 will not be over on Nov. 3

"in the days & weeks that follow we will see efforts to delegitimize the process" warns @CISAKrebs "Don't fall for it..."

Infographic from @CISAgov on when US states can start processing mail-in ballots

7 states cannot start until #ElectionDay

1 state - #Mississippi - can't start until after the polls close

What is processing? Per @NCSLorg it varies from state to state but "typically the first step is comparing the affidavit signature on the outside of the return envelope against the voter’s signature on record to ensure a match...verify the voter’s identity"

Earlier this month, #Michigan's secretary of state estimated that w/more than 3 million mail-in ballots, it won't have a final tally until the Friday after #ElectionDay

Michigan is among the states that can begin processing mail-in ballots before Nov. 3
