Mail them as early as possible. Deliver them personally at an elections office drop box if that’s possible.

lots of sad stories like this on twitter





My ex has been a mail carrier for 25 years & a Union rep for 10. He says he’s never seen anything like it & is worried the P.O. won’t make it the few more years til he’s fully vested. This orange baboon needs to go- November is months away

Trump’s newly appointed postmaster general Louis DeJoy is deliberately slowing down the mail service months before Americans will need to vote by mail.

For context: He has donated millions to Trump and Republicans, and held millions in USPS competitors.

Please check your local election commission laws to ensure whether you are allowed to hand deliver ballots.

NOT allowed in TN! 🤬

US Mail? I guarantee you that anyone else tampering w/ election results and/or voting would be charged. Surely there are provisions in the US Criminal Code and/or local state criminal codes that ban this sort of activity? Perhaps someone is already aware of such statutes of the law that exist already?

If you're healthy and not in a risk group, we need go out and vote in person or vote in person early. We shouldn't be asking ALL our people to mail in ballots. Trump is preparing for this and they will try to do everything to get our votes to not count. I think it's a mistake for our party to put everything on the line for mail in voting.

Yes, we do need to make it accessible to everyone, but we need a fair amount of people to vote in person too. If you can wear a mask and gloves and social distance, it should be safe to vote in person too. I voted by mail in the primary, but I will vote in person in the fall. I'm young and healthy. I don't trust anyone in govt right now.

Mine, hubby’s and son’s. They checked all three very carefully that they were from the same address. 2 people yelled across the room to check them. God forbid I had harvested some votes! Do not trust the mail after what I have been reading. I’m in AZ.
