I am going to preach about this until November.

Donald Trump does not have the right or authority to prevent me from voting by mail. I am a lifelong Democrat, I live in TN and am 70 years old. Today I mailed our ballot requests, I took them into the post office building (in the pouring rain, wearing a mask). When we receive our ballots we will return them them the next day, again to the post office building. EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE HAD ENOUGH INFORMATION TO MAKE THEIR CHOICES OF CANDIDATES. There is no excuse for waiting until it is too late.

If you want to vote by mail, do it, do it as soon as possible. No actual patriot would delay the opportunity.

We are able to verify online that our ballots have been received.

we just mailed our primary ballots. My husbands birthday is today, and when he filled out the date he put the year he was born, rather than 2020. He's been voting in every election for more decades than he'd care to admit. I feel so bad for him, but live and learn. Take your time, pause before the pen hits the page.
