It is too under the radar. It is guaranteed to disenfranchise certain ballots. New Chicanery between now and then could be even worse, even to the point of suddenly "privatizing" the entire service and throwing the entire ballot system into convenient inconvenience to all voters. The fact we have to look out for our ballots in DU misses the main point that many if not most voters are/will be ignorant of this utterly needless"reduced standard". Where are our Dems on the Postal oversight committees? Where is the party's competence for political survival by protecting the vote? Are we STILL expecting a media-suppressed blue wave deluge to wipe out all our worries? Getting back enough swing voters to eke out a small majority, maybe claw back a few gerrymandered states?

Trump leans heavily though stupidly on cheating of all types. It would be nice to counter SOME of them- and the reptiles enabling them.
