"SNIP.......

Ron Brownstein: “In the states that will likely decide the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump has already lost his newly declared war against voting by mail.”

“All six of the swing states that both sides see as the most probable tipping points allow their residents to vote by mail for any reason, and there’s virtually no chance that any of them will retrench their existing laws this year. That means that, however much Trump rages, the legal structure is in place for a mail-voting surge in those decisive states: Florida, North Carolina, and Arizona in the Sun Belt and Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin in the Rust Belt.”

1. Great to hear!!

Now, we just need to keep the USPS open!!!!!

If my 270 to win is correct, if Biden gets Florida he only needs one other swing state!! (and he is starting to trend up in Florida!!)

4. Washington State has had vote by mail for years.

It works very well.

We receive the ballot a few weeks before the voting deadline.

Besides the option of mailing in the ballot, there are ballot drop boxes throughout the state.

The ballots must be postmarked on or before election day, or put in the ballot drop boxes by 8:00 PM election night.

It is quite convenient.

5. Exactly why he's refusing to rescue the Post Office. NT

9. So much this...

6. The downside is that it has to be specifically requested

I would guess turnout among younger voters will be down significantly due to this.

8. I have read post office to go bankrupt by September

And WH refusing to help them. They have been wanting to privatize this for decades and now is their perfect chance and to steal the election again.

I feel sick....
