9. I have no understanding why people would sit on a November ballot.

What is there to know? Even if a presidential candidate dies before an election, the vote elects the VP candidate. So, there is no fucking reason to take more than two days to turn around a ballot.

I expect my Florida ballot to have initiatives on it, I can look ALL of those up online before early voting starts around October 20. Even if I had chosen to vote by mail, I could look up the initiatives in one day and decide how to vote on them. The rest of the ballot is simple, I will vote for Democrats and vote not to reappoint any State Judge that Rick Scott or DeSantis appointed.

I have no clue why someone would wait until the last two weeks or later to mail back a ballot in this critical election, that is outright foolish given what that new post master thug is doing to the postal service.
