Not sure why you're being downvoted. This is exactly what it is. Now mail-in ballots that previously had to be dropped in the box by election day have to be dropped off days in advance.

- mkehrt 10mo agoThe postmark isn't the stamp (piece of paper). It's the ink seal that's stamped over the stamp with the date on it. It doesn't matter how you pay for the piece of mail; it now potentially get postmarked at a later date than previously.
- azinman2 10mo agoFrom the article: Request a Manual Postmark: Customers may present a mail piece at a retail counter and request a "manual (local) postmark". This postmark is applied at the time of acceptance, so the date aligns with the date the USPS took possession. I should have said manual postmark but it’s what I implied. They’re stamping or postmarking it with a date manually.

- hinkley 10mo agoEvery voting cycle for at least the last 4 you have seen a certain class of citizen not understand why the early numbers come in from small, rural precincts who can finish early and then the densest areas come in later and vote for other people than their guy. I’m sure that this is being fed by people whose livelihood depends on misunderstanding the problem, but it’s something people should be taught in school and the civics curriculum went away sometime around No Child Left Behind. So this has been going on at least since GW Bush, and some of this bullshit tracks all the way back to Reagan.
