Fully expect another wave of Covid in October/November.
If we are not ready, the mango menace will call for Martial Law and fuck over all of us.
I don’t think I am paranoid.

Where I am, absentee ballots can be requested and I'm sure early voting will be a popular essential activity to break self-isolation.

Personally, I'll wear MOPP level 4 gear and shower in Lysol, if that's what's required to get rid of these lying stealing murdering sons-of-bitches.

We already have early voting, and I think it's obvious that we need vote by mail to get us through this year.

should be excuse enough to vote absentee in those states that require an excuse.

But you are right, contact your state to make it clear.

In some states they are only counted if the election is very close. Not that I think it will be close, but we don’t want to let it get even remotely close at all.

before the election visit your election authority and ask them how it is handled

remember we all have the right ,indeed the obligation to oversee our own elections

something obamas campaign was great at was knowing where his support was and who had voted early in each precinct, assuming Biden will be the nominee, hopefully his campaign will do the same

but again it is up to us, enough of us need to be active and involved that our numbers are overwhelming

mandated all voting be done by mail. Our Primary is in June. Close to half the state votes by mail already anyway, I always have in this state.

You no longer have to fall into a limited number of reasons. On their website, they walk you through which options you should choose to request a ballot if you are concerned about covid-19.
