The White House is threatening vote-by-mail. Let's be clear: mail-in voting is a safe and convenient option that countless voters, regardless of political affiliation, rely on to protect their cherished right to vote, including Barbara. This right should remain untouched. #MailInVoting #votebymail

Vote-by-mail is not a partisan issue. It is a question of democratic rights for all voters.

This is important. Mail is not always postmarked the same day you drop it- especially if you use a blue collection box.
Vote-by-mail is safe, secure & effective, but don't wait for deadline day.
If does go down to the wire & mail is your only option, go to a Post Office & get them to postmark it.

NPR @npr.org · 15d

Close to a deadline for mailing your ballot, tax return or legal document? To make sure it gets a postmark on time under the latest USPS changes, you may want to send it early or visit a post office.

Your ballot or other mail may not get postmarked by USPS the day it's dropped off

Cutting services at the USPS will also drastically undercut small businesses from Auntie's Etsy shop to big independent bookstores to eBay sellers and more.

That's a feature, not a bug, of privatization. Elimination of competition by making infrastructure unaffordable for the little guys.

The USPS does not operate on taxpayer dollars. The privatizers don't care about saving money for taxpayers. They want to cash in on the world's largest delivery network - boosting corporate profits and ending the public service mission of the #USPS

FEMA now requires disaster victims to have an email address.

Workers at FEMA worry that demanding disaster survivors access services using email could shut out people without internet connectivity from receiving government aid.
