Their game plan for negating mail in ballots

https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/california-attorney-general-rob-bonta-voting-special-election/

In California it's delaying postmarking ballots mailed electiouday. But they can change that to as long a period as they wish. They can invalidate ballots from key Dem areas mailed a week before the election simply by delaying the postmark.

They don't have to cancel next year's elections if they can just steal it.

How do we help people around this?

I’m kicking and screaming in my own community because I think helping people have and navigate voting plans is one of the most important things we can do. Not waiting til Election Day is key - but I’m struggling to get this across to our local party which seems to have other priorities (annual fundraiser, which would be funny in any other timeline). I’m advocating planning for worst case scenarios and preparing to vote like it’s your very first time.

I do grasp this will only get us so far if they’re determined to steal it but I refuse to just hand ballots to them.

Some will hear, but many ignore what is happening.
Don't count on the MSM to help.
