I got my Ohio absentee ballot request in today's mail.

Says in the accompanying letter “The Ohio Secretary of State encourages voters to use mail-in ballots in upcoming elections.”

The ballot request form already had my name and address printed on it.

Also included was a postage paid return envelope.

Seems easy enough ....

Saying you will not be seeing me for a while? A lot of wealthy people are angry at me.

...against the mighty forces of commerce. Part of the same Trump mantra that he is the protector of the forgotten man and because he has hurt the establishment, the swamp, and the deep state and now China, he pretends that he has a target on his back.
If the man baby actually felt that his life was in danger then he would gladly stay in the bunker that fireworks forced him into.

But I am hoping they set up guarded drop boxes. But as long as your ballot is postmarked by the election date you are fine. I take mine to the PO!

I understand the new Postmaster was raked over the coals by the House. Every where I go people are angry about not getting their bills. I mailed a birthday card Monday at the PO. The recipient has not received it.

A box of candy and a birthday card to a friend who lives about 65 miles away last Tuesday and she got it yesterday (Thursday) - only 2 days.

Good choice. I may do the same. My Precinct is just a few doors from me. At the Church I attend. Where I worked the polls for years.

You were lucky on that candy. I sent a check. They had not received it yet. The few bills I still have through the mail average 7 days later than usual.

may be too late with the Post office issues. So I am going to early vote. I have volunteered to work the polls too...I think those who can should early vote or vote in person.
