They voted by mail without hesitation in the state’s June primary. But now there are new stresses. Will a slowdown at the U.S. Postal Service make ballots arrive too late? Will technical mishaps filling out ballots lead to the vote not getting counted?

...Voting twice in one election is a felony in my state...

It is in mine too, but I can't name even one person who did time for voting twice. Can you?

Do you really think it never happened in your state?

Align your chakaras.
Burn bales of white sage.
Cleanse your crystals.

Maybe even wander out to see if there’s any colorful fungi in your back yard.

Be one with Gaia.

Looks like Professor Kelp and Stephen King’s illicit love bore this fruit.

The DUmmies over at DU are worried about the same thing, surprisingly.

Thye think the republicans are trying to steal the election through mail in vote fraud.

When the rioters come to their door, hope they remember to shout “Leave us alone, please, we are Biden supporters just like you!”
