What if the orange buffoon

is so adamant about disabling mail-in voting because that form of voting is not hackable, unlike what Musk may or may not have done recently? Then I recall warnings about the post office and how they won't be dependable come election day.

What's a person to do? Maybe I'll do a mail-in and then hand deliver to the post office?

You literally hand it to an employee after you show your ID (drivers license) and sign a register.

OK, it takes time and work and it's not as easy as walking into a voting booth, but it's a paper ballot and you gave it to a reliable authority that will count your vote.

If Trump stops mail-in voting altogether, you simply claim you'll be away on Election Day and you want to vote via absentee. Same result as above.

We also have pick up boxes where we can leave our ballots at convenient locations. I would bypass the PO and deliver to the county recorders office if I had concerns.

We can either take it in to the county offices or they have drop boxes located around areas that we can drop it off at and bypass the post office altogether

In FL. these are tracked, so she can make sure it was received and counted.
