Better demolished than have Trump on it.

I would never trust a pre flashed Graphene phone. Always flash yourself for security.

Damn, sucks to lose such a bright light especially now.

As someone allergic to all tree nuts, most people (including a lot of restaurants) tend to think that I'm allergic to peanuts and coconut. I have to always state that peanuts and coconut are fine.

In WA, you can print them from the comfort of your home or wherever a printer is available (like a library for example).

if you're in a state like Washington, if you don't get your mailed ballot on schedule, you are allowed and encouraged to print it at home or at a library and drop it off in a ballot box.

While fucking terrible that this happened at all, at least there's this:

The decision leaves room for additional court challenges that could further slow Trump’s order, and other similar cases have already been filed. The U.S. Postal Service laid out how it would implement the order last week, but time is running short to impose major changes with some states beginning to send mail ballots to voters in just a few weeks.

The Supreme Court’s conservative majority didn’t decide the legality of Trump’s order, instead ruling that the states did not have the legal right to challenge it.

“The Court’s disposition of this application does not mean that any measure taken by the Government to implement the Order will necessarily be lawful. On that score, time will tell,” the majority wrote in an unsigned order.

Hopefully there's not enough time for the courts to further allow this bullshit. Either way, use ballot drop boxes, and if you're in a state like Washington, if you don't get your mailed ballot on schedule, you are allowed and encouraged to print it at home or at a library and drop it off in a ballot box.

I think they meant that it was "too soon" to challenge it because the guidelines were not officially in place yet, not that they didn't have a legal right to challenge if states ran the election or not

Which is why "mail only" states have a ballot tracker, abundant amounts of ballot drop boxes, and the ability to print ballots at home. In WA, you can cut out the mail service entirely.

We don't live in a place where we get a day off to vote, but we do have mail in voting which has proven to increase turnout. While the problems you've mentioned are real for some, the vast majority of mail in voters enjoy not having to stress about when they can vote because they're working three jobs - they can drop it off on the way to work. Mail in voting boosts how many people vote, full stop, and it's enough to counter non-federal influences like the ones you've mentioned here.

Shitting on mail in voting is doing the republicans a favor, there's a reason they want to get rid of it, and it's not because of vote manipulation, abuse of voters, or dead people voting.

I didn't say they did. But so far, the courts have slowed them down a bit, to the point where they need to slam through changes as fast as possible. That is not to say that tomorrow they won't start fully ignoring the courts, and that's also why I included details about ballot dropboxes that the fed has no control over.

I don't disagree, but wanted to make the distinction known, because in this case if they draw it out past Sept 3rd, it's likely too late to implement anything for the midterms. Republicans will need to do the opposite of draw it out if they want to make it in time for the midterms, they need to slam it through as fast as possible.

Additionally, at least in WA, you can print your ballot at home and drop it in a drop box.

Understandably, I feel that.

I mean, I'm not saying that's not possible. I'm saying it was the opposite case of your first claim. They need to move as quickly as possible to implement the guidelines before Sept 3rd. If they don't make it in time, some states will have already sent ballots. It's more than just USPS involved here, they're only one part of the "guidelines" Trump wants.

The postal service, like the courts, is slow to adapt. So are the states.

All of that being said, those lucky enough to live in a state like Washington or Oregon can already cut out the postal service entirely by printing ballots at home and dropping them off at the ballot box. The postal service has no power to block the ballots that way other than the inconvenience of printing at home or a library. I have exclusively used ballot boxes the entire time I've lived in WA, and if fuckery does happen (which I wouldn't be shocked by), I'll print my ballot and drop it off.

At no point have I denied the treason aspect that you are bringing up. I am attempting to let people know how to work around it and still be able to vote. Part of fighting this treason is to work around it while the treason itself is also sorted out.

Do you mean ballots sent through the USPS from a voter to the election commission? Or am I misunderstanding?

Ballot drop boxes are not operated by the postal service.

NUCs work, too, if you want a little more power for your dollar. Although I haven't checked the prices on those in a bit..
