Quite simply, any mail-in voter must now place their ballot in the mail at least ONE WEEK sooner than they might have in previous years...or be encouraged to return them in person, if possible.
We need to message around this consistently from this point forward.

But the biggest reason is because I don't want to be part of a chain of transmission. I don't want to hurt anyone.
