[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, doesn't anyone think that the current pandemic is affecting mail volume and delivery?  If I recall correctly, it has shot through the roof since March.  Much of that delivery is package delivery, not flat mail.

For all those objecting, this is exactly why we can't do 100% mail in voting right now.  The USPS just isn't set up for the potential flat mail volume when it must ensure that packages get through, including grandma's medication.

Or would you prefer that the USPS delay packages and let grandma die because you're too lazy to get off the couch to vote in person, but you'll get up to go protest at the height of the pandemic?[/quote]
You are really, really tied to protesting as if it’s some sort of talisman. It’s really weird, dude.[/quote]

It's not weird.  If you are healthy enough to go out of your house to visit the grocery store, pharmacy, or other indoor facility - or be shoulder to shoulder with hundreds of thousands of your closest friends at a protest - you're healthy enough to get off your *ss and go vote in person.  Absentee balloting is available for many with health conditions that would preclude them from voting in person.

But you didn't answer my question.  You seem to want grandma's medication delayed so that you can sit on your *ss and vote by mail.  In-person voting places will be following CDC guidelines, and there's even money available for them to do so.  Are you saying that the CDC is wrong, and your "feelings" about coronavirus are right?[/quote]
