#5I've had significant delays up here in the Pacific Northwest. A friend of mine mailed me a box of comic books over two weeks ago and it's still in limbo.
I just want to read Green Lantern Corps. :(

#6Would have appreciated some transparency on this before a shipped a $1K ecommerce package by Priority Mail last week. I read the official notice on the website and it just said PM was gonna be extended by one day. Then after it arrived in the destination ZIP they bumped it out another day, and now it is showing Alert status with no scans. Really unprofessional.

You can return your mail-in ballot to a drop slot / drop box at your local election office, which saves them postage fees and gives you more certainty it arrived. If you can’t spare the time then the mail still works, but for those that are worried, it’s allowed.

It does align with the suggestion that voting by mail is problematic, though seems like a created problem.
