Michigan now has vote by mail.

With the passing of Proposal 3 in November 2018, we can now obtain absentee ballots without having to provide an excuse. My township is also creating a regular mailing list for them, so I will receive one automatically by mail for all elections. I received the form and sent it back the other day.

This should increase participation greatly in November, and help elect Joe Biden as the 46th President of the United States.
