Yaaaaay grassroots Dems!

Here in Pa , for the first year, we have absentee/mail-in-ballots.

Trump told people not to use them- fraud ...yada yada yada. Vote in person on election day.

But we Dems did of course, in YUUUUUGE numbers. ( hundreds of thousands) AND we put the word out , once you received your absentee/mail-in ballot, fill it out , put it in the security envelope , seal it, sign it on back, provide address. BUT DO NOT MAIL it back.

We said TAKE it IN PERSON to your board of elections, and/or drop box provided by county board of elections.

Long story short...we figured, if mailed, Mr DeJoy would delay their arrival, ( imo that was the scheme) and the R’s would say those arriving after election day would not count.

Sure enough, that happened. Those ballots were segregated out. (about 10,000) .

BUT instead of undelivered ballots sitting in mail rooms after election day, hundreds of thousands were counted in time.
Biden won Pa by about 80,000.

out of the post office with his aggressive approach especially letting DeJoy know he needs to appear in person.
