A Reminder

Just want to give out a shout that you need to vote. Time is getting short. Also, don't trust your ballot to USPS. Drop it off at a drop box. We have a couple options here: mail-in or local library.

I'm hoping for the best for our country, no matter who wins the election.

BULL****!
I mailed mine in and it's been counted. Don't buy into all the panic and fear over nothing. That rhetoric has caused real damage and harm for people who rely on the mail, such as farmers and those who get medications by mail. It's worked pretty well up until now.

Good for you. I delivered mine to a ballot drop site (library).

That's still no excuse for continuing this nonsense and paranoia.
I can just as easily say don't trust a drop box, because some Republicans have made fraud drop boxes and have refused to quit.
But, it's better we not destroy the integrity of our election based on shadows and boogeymen.

Yeah, well I've been having packages with delays and gone missing several times in the last few weeks. So, that being said... The post office isn't up to snuff on this and yeah don't trust it for ****.

I will be voting in person as I do normally, lol.

Going direct to polling site. Straightforward and direct. No third person handling.
 
I think there is no real harm in being a little extra cautious to try your best to make sure it likely reaches the intended destination. If you can't, then don't worry about it, but if you can easily take a little extra step that makes you feel more confident the thing makes it to where it should go, that is fine.

I've been a conspiracy theorist since maybe the 90s and especially the early 2000s, so back then we used to believe that the elections were rigged, and that Bush was basically faking the elections and computerized numbers and the counts were false and easily manipulated, so I haven't had faith in the United States Political system for probably over 20 years.
 
Though, if there is any chance of peacefully ousting a President who has basically really caused a tremendous amount of harm due to negligence and incompetency, it is certainly worth giving it a shot and voting for practically anyone that one hopes might win and do a better job, and so that would have to be voting for Biden (since the US system so often gives only two a very strong chance overall, and by voting for outliers, it basically dilutes the votes for the person who one might prefer over another who is more likely to win).

It's too late to mail the ballot unless you live in a state where postmark by election day is what counts.

At this point, I'd go in person or if not comfortable use a drop box if you're fortunate to live in a state that is not trying to suppress the vote like Texas is doing.

So if Trump wins again, what do you think the reaction will be from all the people who did their best to get him out of the office?

A fair and square win or a "win" due to voter suppression, attacking drop-off boxes, limiting the number of drop-off boxes to advantage Trump, kicking legitimate voters off the roles, showing up armed with Trump signs and parading just out of the 100ft range of the voting station and/or getting the extremist right wing SCOTUS majority to steal it for him?

I'm wondering the opposite. Many have swallowed the Trump 'kool aid' and will be utterly shocked and disbelieving if he loses. What will the MAGA crowd do?

I wouldn't recommend using USPS from now until the election.
Why? Mail voting appears spread out and isn't the overwhelming flood that was predicted. If it can do Christmas mail, I'm pretty sure it can handle an election. It already does in a few places.

Even there it depends on the county. Good advice though

Michiganistan government is recommending dropping
off one's ballot at drop boxes, township centers, etc
because of the chance the mail could be overwhelmed
& delayed.

If they get overwhelmed by this point I will be utterly shocked as that would put the mail-in ballot rate over to even higher than it already is. But it's already been setting records and this overwhelming scenario has not come to fruition. It seems most who are voting by mail have already done so. 90 million have already voted, so it may be that most people who are voting at all have already done so.

Thanks. I live in a Democratic Party controlled city that has a lot of “law and order”, so, I was able to cast my vote in person weeks ago at one of over 130 early voting locations. Many have been open for 12 hours a day, on 20 separate days before the election.

It took ten minutes. It was awesome.

I used the drive-thru voting partly because there are high risk people in my family, and I thought this could afford an additional measure of protection. It was very easy.

If there is one thing we know how to do in America ... it’s using the drive-thru. ;)

We had the first phase of voting in Bihar State (four more to go, population around a 100 million). In spite of Corona, the voting % remained nearly the same, something like 58% or so. We do it in phases to be able to control voting-related criminal activities.
