Is the Democratic Party communicating with voters telling them to no longer mail in ballots?

Just like on DU there should be emails, text messages, phone calls etc. telling voters what to do with their mail in ballots especially in places like PA, FL, NC etc.

You can drop off absentee (mail) ballots at polling places, but voting in person is recommended as the preferred course. Early in person gives voters the most options for fixing any problems. We have same day registration and voting. Lot less flexibility on election day.

My sense is that people that are holding their ballots plan to drop them off at the elections office, or vote in person - I hope that my sense is on target.

If you have an absentee ballot it is best to take it to the BOE. ABC said USPS is telling everyone it probably will not deliver on time.

My brother prefers NBC and their news said the same.

Lots of organized efforts to drive people to return to clerks office or in official drop boxes.

you'd better hope your state has a drop-off alternative. Not all of them do.
