We get our ballot by mail, fill it out, then bring it to a drop box watched by cameras up in town. And Trump’s panicky order is illegal. States decide how elections go.

How about we don't elect a president again who strives to make everything more difficult - and expensive - just because the details somehow benefit him or his wealthy friends?

* [Multiple experts with the Election Truth Alliance](https://electiontruthalliance.org/) (Data analysis/security/political science) have warned you that our 2024 election day results looks suspicious as hell and/or *programmed*, while mail-in ballot results still manage to look normal. * [The Brennan Center for Justice](https://www.brennancenter.org/sites/default/files/2025-03/bcj-2024-election-bomb-threat-tracker_0.pdf) have logged *at least* 227 (unanswered) bomb threats on election day '24 and the week following. Most of which came from Russia, and most of which affected Democratic-leaning precincts. * [Free Speech For People](https://freespeechforpeople.org/challenging-insecure-voting-systems/) have indicated that our voting systems are insecure.. Multiple times. * [SMART elections](https://smartelections.us/dropoff) have shown you that the drop-off rates in 'swing states' are WILDLY different than the rest of the country. To a questionable degree. They've also [proven that our election systems are easily hacked](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6iW3oi3Eik). ["And he knows those computers better than anybody, all those computers - those vote counting computers.. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania, like, in a landslide.. So, it was pretty good, it was pretty good. So 'Thank You' to Elon!" - Donald Trump, 1/19/2025](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/DbHqZjNTu_0) You can admit that Russia interfered in the 2016 election, and that Donald Trump attempted to undermine the 2020 election with a 'fake elector' scheme. You're telling us now that the Trump administration is willing to use every administrative power, (legal or otherwise) to meddle in the 2026 midterms.. But you're telling us that the 2024 election was fair and square? To quote Joe Biden, "Come on, man."

It's not chaos. Don't vote by mail unless you have absolutely no option.  Supreme Court says Postal Service has no obligation to deliver mail. Even mail deliberately withheld. Do you know if your information will be accurately represented and on the President's good side list?

You know i forgot all about that SCOTUS ruling about USPS. If USPS had any credibility left before that ruling, they lost every ounce since.

I work for the USPS. It makes no difference what the Supreme Court says we have an obligation to do. If we don't deliver mail, we don't get paid. Legality doesn't enter into it. This is like saying never go to a shoe store because the Supreme Court ruled they don't have to sell you Crocs. Technically true, I guess, but also totally irrelevant.

In my state, we have many drop off boxes so our ballots need never enter the postal system. We are completely vote by mail, and we can optionally get a text or email when our ballots are received and again after they are counted. I feel way more confident in our system than using an electronic cutting machine that can be hacked. Paper ballots are far more difficult to hack.
