Or to postmark them when they arrive at the postoffice in time, rather than sit in a bin out back waiting to be postmarked when the election is over.

VOTE!! My local Post Office clerk told me to bring my completed ballot in to the USPS. Take the ballot up to the counter and ask a PO staff person for a postmark right there. If we just put it in a mail box, the ballots may have a date stamp 3-4 days later than when the USPS actually receives it.

The Supreme Court has simultaneously granted trump permission to fire whoever he wishes in any federal department. The separation of powers has collapsed. ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

The decision helps protect hundreds of thousands of voters across 14 states and D.C. who rely on mail voting. In 2024, nearly 1 in 3 Americans voted by mail in the 2024 general election, accounting for more than 48 million votes. Full story to come.

1/3 voted by mail in 2024 BUT But Trump’s 2024 win was announced at around 10:30 on election night. 🧐 still recovering from whiplash and wondering 🫪 We had to wait until December for 2020 Biden win.

Once again confirming that it is states that have authority over elections, the president has NO authority regarding how states run elections. Let’s note for posterity that it is REPUGS who are trying to run over states’ rights as enumerated in the Constitution. Dems are defenders of democracy.
