Any day now they are going to tell voters they can "text" their vote in....

I suspect tactics such as this will backfire on republicans everywhere like it did when republicans forced voters to still vote in person in either Michigan or ? earlier this year, far more democrats turned out to vote than they anticipated so it backfired on republicans.

It's all VBM, and the ballots just get mailed out. That's here in WA state.

Everybody needs to check their state situation and act accordingly.

Be vigilant everybody.

You must request a request for an absentee ballot. It is a two step process of requesting the form to use to request the ballot.

I have created a post regarding the process of voting by mail with an absentee ballot here:
