Voting in November

There should be a Plan B if the Post Office is compromised for voting by mail.

Paper ballots is still the way to go instead of in person voting.

Could the county Board of Elections set up a locked box like the Post Office outside county buildings for paper ballots to be dropped off and collected and counted by officials?

I understand this would be one more obstacle to voting, but we won't get a second chance to unseat Trump.

there is no plan B. If your state is already set for vote by mail (OR, WA, a few others) you're good. Otherwise you're hosed. The reThugs have done a pretty brilliant job at fucking/fixing the ballot

Is likely to run havoc with the mail-in ballots.
