If you're going to vote by mail, you
NEED to send your ballot back before October 20th. Honestly you might want to make sure it's in the mail before then. Maybe October 14th or something. They are literally destroying the postal service in order to slow mail down, and if you're ballot doesn't arrive in time
it does not count.
Honestly I think that if you can vote in person you should probably do so. Most of us are young or young-ish...wear your mask, socially distance, etc and you'll be fine. Not a bad idea to take the day off work. You got PTO, early October rolls around...request that November Tuesday off.
Every time Trump accuses someone of anything, he's guilty of it. It's his excuse for his behavior. He's trying to rig this thing in his favor. There are factors that will make it hard for him - namely the fact that MI and PA have democrat governors and secretaries of state who will do all they can to protect this process. But in states like Florida and Georgia? There will be fukkery. It's August, quarantines are still largely in place...you don't have an excuse not to be checking and double checking your voter status and making sure you're ready to go. If you're gonna request a ballot, make sure you do it in a manner that ensures you'll receive it by the first week of October. And then like I said, turn that shyt in quickly.
