20. The post office has always sent out, received and delivered ballots

For as long as I’ve been alive. It a well established part of the electoral system. For most people in the U.S. the USPS delivers more than mail. Sounds like you’re talking about a package, correct? Would you prefer Bezos and Amazon deliver all medications to women, for example? Not having the option of voting by mail is exactly what Trump wants. As is having the voter rolls in every state. Why? He wants to know exactly where he needs to physically harass and intimidate voters. How many people are terrified at the prospect of being harmed if they even try to vote? This is how fascism works.
