Wondering when the dems will start claiming that Trump will have army troops blocking peoples way, with snipers on the roofs mowing down people who manage to evade the soldiers to drop their ballots off in the box. At the rate the dems are going it shouldn't be too much longer.

4. Drop off your mail-in ballot

What does this accomplish?

1. You're not relying on the USPS to get your ballot in on time. No matter what Trump does to sabotage the delivery of ballots, it won't slow down yours getting counted
2. You don't have to worry about long lines, risking infection. You're just stopping to drop the ballot off

^^^Thank you

But I don't remember YOU posting about it. Hmmm

PS - there is a big difference between absentee ballots, like you describe, and the indiscriminate mass mailings that are being proposed by Dems.

Still, voting is controlled by states. Don't like what your state is doing? Vote differently.
Would you explain exactly what the difference is between absentee ballots and mail-in ballots?

But the supervisor of elections might be a Russian imposter, so best to follow Democrat leadership and mail it.

FYI, there is NO difference between absentee ballots and mail-in ballots besides the name.

The rumors that there is a difference is more false propaganda by those who would rob you of your right to vote! https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...o-voting-terms

I just can't see how this will work for Trump.

Friends are reporting delays in receiving medication, checks, etc.......what a mess.

How does this administration think this will help them in the election.

The post office is a service defined by the constitution, not a business. Profit isn't a goal. Do you say we should shut down the military because it stands to lose $750 billion in a year, or do you see it as a service that we should pay for?
