1. Oh it's a typo. Thank god I thought we're losing Swan Lake

[Mike 03]

2. Kicking for importance

Text: Stop saying November 3rd.

Start saying October 20th.

The USPS is advising every American give their mail-in ballots 14 days roundtrip. If you do not, there’s a chance it won’t be counted.

Fascism is at our doorstep. Every single vote counts.

Pass it on

[malaise]

3. Important post but I think you mean

ballot

[agingdem]

4. ballot not ballet...

please forgive this retired English teacher..I just can't help it...thank you

[nattyice]

5. I actually have no problem delaying ballets

6. Are they dancing very slowly?

[hellno45]

7. Good info, kicked. nt

[randr]

8. This must have come from the new Postmaster General

Small bits of misinformation will be leaked out as we approach the election. By the time of election no one will trust our elective system and the fascists will have armies in every city to quash any "disturbance".
In my worst nightmare.

14. yeah, that's what I'm thinking, no real press release just announcing changes and this will

probably change also.

9. Problem is most won't see or do this

Unless we make it a national early by mail campaign. Biden's folks should be on it.

10. Kick.

I plan to walk my ballot to an elections office drop off and put it in the box myself.

[questionseverything]

18. my spouse does it for me

everyone should check on the rules for their area and decide what is the most secure way to get that ballot counted

[Mr. Ected]

11. Trump will just get on TV and deride the USPS and tell people they can't trust that their vote will

be received because of how bad the post office is.

He'll introduce doubt into the equation. He works best in utter chaos, so that's what he'll create.

[SWBTATTReg]

12. I, for one, will vote in person (w/ masks and social distancing rules) to

ensure that my vote and those of other members of my household will definitely get counted.

I just received our election notices (for August primaries) so a convenient way to reconfirm our voter registrations.

I can't wait until we remove the missing in action PINO scumbag, and a normal and decent president is elected.

I suspect that there are lots of people like me, who can't wait until Nov. 2020 (and Jan. 2021) for the elections to get here so we can all vote our displeasure with this insanity that is all things rump.

A warning that rump had better start watching his step via his idiotic behavior and executive orders, for Biden will move quickly to counteract the worse of trump's excesses and demand that the Biden DOJ quickly move to investigate both rump and his family, and Barr, and any other cronies in the rump administration.

If any illegal activity or corruption is detected, the Biden DOJ should move quickly to charge all involved and haul their a&&es to prison once they are charged, tried, and found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

There must be a price paid for corruption at the highest level of office in the land. This must be hammered firmly into the mindset of all Americans (and foreign who try to profit from tampering w/ our election process in any manner), by having harsh penalties handed down.

16. +1000

13. Those of us in states that already have all-mail voting

take this for granted.

Also, we have alternate methods of returning those ballots for people who don't trust the USPS - but also for those who know they're a little behind time-wise. Here in Colorado, that includes drop boxes, which are consistent with social distancing And not just one or two. Pretty much all over the county. Also, there is tracking on line so one can verify one's ballot has been received and accepted while there is time to do something if it hasn't.

And I' rather proud of all of that (as you probably noticed.) But we still won't see any kind of returns before November 3rd.

15. Do not give Trump's crony your ballot. Vote in person early. nt

17. I received my primary ballot

for the Washington state candidates, and had it in the mail two day later. It never takes me more than two days to get it sent back.

19. All primaries will be over in August. The presidential race, US Senate races, statewide initiatives

, US House races, state races, ALL will be known in August. People get their mailin ballots in September or early October. I have no idea why people wait until the week before Election Day or Election Day to send them in or drop them off, it is fucking silly and invites all types of shit to happen. I have done two mailin ballots, even with having to do research on some of the issues and candidates, I had the ballot in the mail in two days.

When I hear people here talk about dropping their ballots into a drop box on Election Day, I want to fucking tear my hair out. It just looks like unnecessary procrastination to me.

20. I'm voting mail-in for the primary but in person

for November 3rd.

November 3rd is too important to risk anything going wrong.
