    This is the biggest threat to our fake-democracy, since I’ve been voting.

    Its startling.

    I’m gonna stand in fucking line, and risk getting Covid. And i dont mind. I’m going to enjoy risking my life to vote against that disgusting piece of trump-shit.

    Maybe its about time voting was actually a risk for white people, in this country.

    No way I’m relying on the mail, now.

    You can drop a ballot off at a voting place.

    I’m thinking the same thing. Our voting place rarely has much in the way of lines, and if I time it correctly, I can probably avoid the worst of them. Will be wearing a double mask, protective goggles for my eyes, and quite possible full body armor.

    Haven’t looked into the local or state laws regarding medieval weaponry and horses inside community centers, but I have a feeling they’ll accept whatever I do.

    Well, who knows how WV would handle that. Each State might be different.

    I will be hand-delivering mine to the County Clerk this year. In California, we are allowed to drop them off at a precinct on election day, but I don’t see that provision in WV. Not really an issue for you, though.

    Are we agreed, this mail thing is a NEW level of domestic Republican nefariousness?

    I mean….just…how…ignorant can the electorate be. This evil evil plan can only work if the american electorate has reached abysmal lows. Every conservative in america should be up in arms about this.

    Good advice for people who feel unsafe about voting in person but now fear the USPS will be unable to deliver a “mail-in” ballot in a timely fashion.
    There is a way around it:
    1. Request a mail-in ballot.
    2. Do not mail it.
    3. Google your supervisor of elections to see where you can drop off your mail-in ballot. Its usually NOT THE POLLING PLACE. All states allow this!

    Here is what you’re accomplishing by doing this:
    1. You’re not relying on the USPS to get your ballot in on time, so no matter what, your ballot gets in on time.
    2. You don’t have to worry about standing in long lines and risking infection. You’re just stopping by to drop it off.
    3. You still voted! Hooray!
    Also, when you drop it off find out how to track it online to make sure it is verified. California, Oregon, Washington Colorado have systems that can track your ballot just like tracking a package from Amazon.

    There are protests. In terms of conservatives being up in arms, near as I can tell, they are in complete bot-governed partisan mode. So to them–there really is voter fraud and the post office really is losing money, so Trump’s actions are just the right thing to do, silly liberal conspiracy theories aside. There may be no such thing as “conservatives” anymore…just right-wing partisans who live in the right-wing media bubble and echo it.

    I would say that we are in a brand new, fresh level of Hell.

    They are saying and doing things out loud now. The stuff that we always accused them of doing, and that the conservatives told us was our feverish conspiracy wacko ideas. They are now saying and doing things in broad daylight, and the conservatives are STILL telling us that they aren’t.

    Well i suspect there are a significant number of conservatives out there in the heartlands. Not a ‘lot’ but I’m guessing maybe five percent of the Reps. Somethin like that. Enough to swing a close election.

    Could be. But I am not sure it’s a close election. Right now it looks like a pending shift back to glory and splendor of a world run by right-centrist mainstream dems.

    Yes, i agree it would not be close, if the election were at the ‘usual level’ of unfairness. But this one looks like it will be even more rigged than usual. So, given that, i think it will be close.
