with USPS no longer trustworthy, then I see NO choice but to vote in person. I am volunteering to be a poll worker and with the ENTIRE future of america under assault, I am willing at age 67 to risk my life with COVID to make sure people can vote. It is what it is and time to stop fucking around

I'm putting on a mask and voting in person. Hey, we've been warned by the Traitor Himself!

As soon as my mail in vote arrives I will fill it out and take it to the county elections office.

Most states count absentee ballots first, not last. My state can start counting the absentee ballots several weeks prior to the election. So as the numbers come in, it will be the opposite of red mirage here.
As long as majority of absentee ballots arrive before the election, there won't be red mirage happening in most states.
