Relieved. Received my ballot yesterday.

I don’t know anyone trusting the mail this election.

I did. Not suffering from the widespread paranoia, I mailed my ballot in last month. In Wisconsin, there’s a website that lets you track it to the point your municipal clerk receives it. Don’t see what all the panic mongering is about.

Not only did I mail my ballot, I left it in the mailbox with the flag up. I live on the edge.

In my community, we have had reports of ballots being stolen out of the incoming mail from mailboxes. This is A New Thing around here, after years and years of all-vote-by-mail. Luckily it's easy enough to fix with the procedures our county auditor has put in place.

Three clicks on a website, and I've verified my ballot has already been received properly.

I'll be tracking mine.
But I've seen no reports of ballot boosting locally.

[Teacher Terry]

We can track our mail in ballots also.

Then why does no one you know trust the mail?

[Teacher Terry]

Because my son’s letter took 18 days to travel 30 miles. Plus the Republicans are going to try and exclude as many mail in ballots as they can because more democrats vote that way. It’s no secret since they have been upfront about it.

But in that case, your problem isn’t with the mail so much as those dastardly Republicans challenging mail-in ballots for various reasons. A practice unknown to Democrats.

They aren’t necessarily trying to challenge every ballot, just get them not counted such as Pennsylvania where they recently were ruled against in their efforts to not count anything received past Election Day even if postmarked before.

I remember when you had to vote on Election Day unless you had some bullet proof excuse to justify an Absentee Ballot. These days we start early voting in virtually all states well before Election Day, we've been early voting in Ohio since Oct 6th, so it seems to me people are being granted lots and lots of time to vote. I wonder how long past Election Day we should allow?
