• Absentee ballots

    From Kurt Weiske@1:218/700 to All on Saturday, May 23, 2020 08:09:00
    So, is there anything preventing people from going out and requesting an absentee ballot, which is already totally available to voters?


    ... Are you real? If you can't tell, does it matter?

    Here's my problem with it:

    They sent me an application in the mail (great!) but why couldn't they email
    it to me? The CDC said that the virus can stay on paper for like 3 days or something, so I don't read my mail until about a week after I get it. The
    other problem is that it has to be mailed back in.

    Last election, I couldn't get people off their asses to go out & vote, and
    now this election, I need people to get a form in the mail, if they're like
    me they'll wait a week to open it, then fill out a form, take it to the post office & drop it off, then actually vote on election day.

    How is it going for you?
