OK So with the shit with the USPS going on:
1. Check your Voter registration to make sure everything is up to date.Β If you can, request a Mail-In Ballot.Β I live in CO, where all elections are Mail-In only now, so I get one anyway.
2. Fill out your ballot per the instructions on your Ballot.Β Some Notes:
Read Instructions thoroughly, and fill out your Ballot in private.
Do NOT post pictures of your Ballot as this may invalidate it.Β DO Post pictures of your βI Votedβ sticker.
Make sure to vote for all the offices up for election- as important as the presidential election is, your mayor, governer, local school board and sherrif have a MUCH bigger impact on your immediate safety and quality of life.Β Google your candidates, look up the Leauge of Women Voterβs Guides for a reliably Impartial rundown of your local candidates.Β
Remember also that it is better to have someone in office that is only moderately incompotent, than it is to have someone that actively wants you dead.Β It is the first step to having someone worthwhile next time.
If you wanted a third party option, your local elections are the best place to do this- my own city council has several Green Party members and it got me city-sponsored single-stream recycling! Its also moving the state legislature significantly farther left.
3. INSTEAD OF MAILING IT- LOOK UP WHERE YOUR BALLOT DROP-OFF LOCATIONS ARE.Β
Theyβre boxes you drive or walk or bus or bike or whatever up to and drop your ballot in, and the elections officials will have it that evening. Pros of Ballot Drop-Off:
Can be turned in the same day you reccive your ballot, if you want to get this over with ASAP
Open 24/7, so you can drop it off whenever
Absolutely guaranteed to get your vote counted, regardless of what Donald does with the Post Office.
No exposing yourself to the coronavirus
Most cities will have several ballot Drop-Off locations, at places like the grocery store, the county courthouse, city hall, at high schools etc.Β Google your town or county name and βBallot Drop Off Locationsβ and itβll give you directions even.
Absolutely Save the USPS, but this is the BEST way to make sure your vote gets counted this
