Hand deliver your ballots...make sure they count.

[LakeVermilion]

I guess we are going to have to bypass the USPS. Have your communities set up collection ballot boxes.

Then we can request absentee ballots, fill them out, and had deliver the ballots to the collection ballots prior to election day.

Bonus: We will have bypassed the voting machines that corporations have rigged.

1. Who is going to deliver your absentee ballots to you?

Easter bunny?

[Siwsan]

3. That's why it's important to request them ASAP

I can drop off my request at the township clerk's office, OR scan and email it to them.

[LisaL]

5. I requested mine already. That doesn't guarantee that it will be delivered to me, does it?

If Post Office is being messed with, any plan involving absentee ballots still needs working post office.

[Squinch]

6. Is there a problem with the poster saying to hand deliver your completed ballot? It seems

sensible to me.

[LisaL]

7. There is no problem saying to hand deliver absentee ballot.

It still involved ballot delivered to you. And if I had to hand deliver my ballot, why wouldn't I just vote in person anyway?

[Squinch]

11. That's a decision you will have to make. But the snarky "easter bunny?" reply seemed

to indicate there was a problem with the very sensible suggestion that you hand deliver your completed ballot.

I plan to vote in person to make sure my vote is counted. I am searching out an N95 mask and a face shield now so I can do it safely.

You need to decide what is best for you.

[LisaL]

13. Being a high risk individual, best for me clearly would be to safely vote absentee.

But with post office being messed with, I am starting have serious doubts that it is going to happen.

[Squinch]

14. I am also a high risk person. That's why I am sourcing the things I need now.

[LisaL]

18. I already requested the ballot. If they get my application, I can't vote in person now.

Even if I never get the ballot. My only option is going to be provisional ballot on election day in my voting place. As for safety gear, I already have it. But noting is a 100 %, and being surrounded by a bunch of people is not a good idea during a pandemic.

[Squinch]

19. No kidding. Which brings us back to my point that each of us has to weigh the risks.

[Siwsan]

27. I know - it is beyond frustrating.

I'm back to leaning towards in person voting. My time is my own and I am pretty familiar with the ebb and flow at my precinct. And if it requires standing in line in inclement weather, so be it.

8. i think it will be fine getting our ballots..its sending them back that bothers me a tad....

..so even tho we have had all mail in for years ..even tho I have never ever worried about mailing it back... I will walk mine to a drop box. Just so i dont put more strain on the post office. I even asked a clerk if we should walk our ballots in and they didnt think it was an issue to mail but told us to do whatever we felt more comfortable with.

[LisaL]

12. My feelings, if I have to go to the board of elections with the freaking ballot, I don't need a

ballot, as I might as well vote in person.
Which I can't do now, as I already requested the ballot.

[Squinch]

22. But if you get the ballot, then it is safer to drop it off than to send it through the mail, which

Trump is rigging to suppress votes. If you drop it off, you know your vote will be counted.

The point is that if you mail it in, it might get "lost" or "delayed."

2. I am in California, and I will be mailing my ballot in, and voting early. California allows you to

check the status of your ballot, and if it has been received, and when it has been counted.

[SharonClark]

4. Thankfully, so does Iowa (where I am).

15. +++

[samnsara]

9. same in my state..but Im going to take a pic of my ballot front and back just in case

[still_one]

17. On our mail in ballots, we tear off the top stub before mailing it in, which contains an identificat

for tracking

[Cicada]

10. Oh god no.

There is zero chance any Republican will win my city or state. Spending the several dollars In gas repairs etc it would cost for a special trip is setting the money on fire. And it puTo pollution in the air. I mail people paperwork for money so I notice mail service. Lately two day delay is typical. The worst so far is a six day delay. Unless the post office changes even more votes mailed ten days in advance will get there. But most people live in a safe red or blue district. I know I’m not supposed to say this but your vote has zero chance of changing anything. Voting is a civic duty, a moral responsibility, not a practical act. For two thirds of us at a minim. For 99.9% of us as a practical matter. Mostly I vote, despite my academic training in statistics, because it makes me feel good.

The mail hits my feel good button. Don’t drive your car to vote until Trump actually kills the post office. And even then don’t drive to vote unless you live in PA or Florida

[LisaL]

16. I sure hope most people don't think the way you do.

[Cicada]

28. Don't worry. I will crawl over broken glass to vote Biden.

Everyone here would crawl over broken glass to vote for Joe Biden. The probability calculator which operates in my head does it’s thing even if I don’t want it to. Blame it, don’t blame me. I just think the odds of mail sent ten days early not being delivered is extremely close to zero. Like Trump going a day without lying. And for most of us it doesn’t even matter because we live in a safe red or safe blue state.

But it is ok to hate me for what I said. I know I shouldn’t say it, even tho it’s true.,it is that darn calculator up there calculating whether I want it to or not. Blame it, not me.

20. I am going to suit up like I do when buying groceries

with mask, safety glasses and gloves, walk into my polling place and fill out my ballot, get my sticker and go home with a smile.

[Squinch]

21. Exactly. We go grocery shopping every week. I go for a walk in the park on most days.

The hassle of scrounging up an N95 mask and a face shield is worth knowing my vote is counted.

I'm going in person. But early, to try and miss the crowds.

23. A good conspiracy theory is a terrible thing to waste...

[Squinch]

24. Oh? Did Trump not fire all the people at the top of the Post Office in Friday and install his

own hand-picked goons? I could have sworn he did.

But I guess that's just a conspiracy theory.

[brooklynite]

25. I'm referring to: "We will have bypassed the voting machines that corporations have rigged."

26. Please check laws in your state regarding drop off. Not allowed in TN!

Likely the exception, but TN does not allow ballots to be hand delivered anywhere. Also, once you request a mail-in ballot, you are not allowed to vote in person! 🤬
