Seeing your ballot drop in a box is no indicator the vote is actually recorded in the grand tally, or what was recorded for your vote.

My county lets you look up if it was received. You can vote on Election Day in person if they don’t.

You have to trust that whole system. Maybe you do, I don't know the details of how any of that works.

When I vote in person, I know all the officials there from various parties are just like...looking at the box for the whole day to make sure everything is counted. It's much easier to understand and trust.

My county sends me a text message when they've counted my ballot.

		My point is, you don't actually know that. Sure you got a notification! That doesn't mean anything. Even with human counted ballots or electronic ballots. Following the chain of custody from vote to verification, in some way, would be nice.
