Do you feel safe voting absentee? How about in-person absentee? [View all]

I've been debating with myself about where and when to vote this year. I had planned on voting absentee and mailing in my ballot because of the dangers of covid. Then I changed my mind and decided to battle the crowds and vote in person on Nov 3 just to make sure that my vote was counted on Nov 3 to make sure Biden's totals look good as soon as possible (prevent any Red Mirage). But is voting absentee in person just as safe and can I be sure that my vote will show up in the totals on election day? BTW, this is in Wisconsin.

What are your plans to vote this year?
