6. Regardless I would encourage folks to stop putting their ballot in the mail

Eric Holder and other Democratic leaders agree.

At this stage in the game the mail is too unreliable especially in the swing states, it's time for hand delivery in-person at a clerks office or certified drop box location, or vote in-person early or on Election Day.

I think some have been too naive and not alarmist enough, I never trusted the mail for ballot return after DeJoy and Don Con waged war on it. My mom and I hand delivered ours and my dads last week in a drop box in our county clerks office because of the intentional slowdown. Rachel is going on tonight that only half of the requested ballots have been returned thus far in a bunch of swing states. I truly don't get it, there's no excuse for this. Democratic Party leaders in the big cities in those states need to put together an unreturned ballot tracing operation starting tomorrow morning if they haven't already.
