As noted, there were problems with ballot delivery through the mail, thanks to DeJoy.

However, it’s easy for bad actors to manipulate in-person voting. They can alter voter registrations, invalidating a voter’s eligibility. We were hip to that one this time. They can remove voting machines from urban areas, which they did. They can run out of paper ballots. Machines can go down. On and on.

Despite the sabotage, I think mail in and early voting saved us.
