The Democrats’ ploys to draw out the ballot-counting process have largely failed across the country, so now, election and postal experts are saying it’s already too late to mail your ballot. If you want your vote to count, you need to vote in person.
It appears that about 10 percent of all first-class mail is being delayed because of the massive volume of election mail. Despite extraordinary measures by the USPS to get every ballot where it needs to go to be counted, it won’t be enough to ensure that every single ballot mailed before Election Day arrives in time to be counted.
This wouldn’t have been a problem if Democrats hadn’t terrified voters into thinking it was deadly to show up to vote in person.
“If you haven’t requested a mail ballot yet, it’s too late,” David Becker, executive director of the Center for Election Innovation & Research, told The Post. “I don’t care about the legal deadline; it’s just too late in terms of getting it processed, getting it mailed to you and you being able to fill it out and return it.”
He added: “You’re just putting too much pressure on yourself. At this point, if you haven’t requested a mail ballot yet, plan to vote in person and vote early, if possible.”
The extraordinary measures the USPS is taking to speed up the delivery of ballots are unprecedented.
Postal workers are allowed to sort and postmark ballots themselves, a departure from regular protocol, the memo added, according to The Post. Also, post offices are now authorized to create ballot-only lines and drive-through ballot drop-off areas.
Meanwhile, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s campaign has started encouraging Americans to submit ballots in person rather than through mail-in, The Post reported.

An interesting dynamic has created a unique correlation between support for Donald Trump’s re-election and in-person versus mail-in voting.
A survey of over 215,000 registered voters taken between June and September found that people who disapproved of President Donald Trump’s performance were more likely to vote by mail, according to Axios. Seventy-four percent of registered voters who strongly disapproved of Trump said they would vote by mail while 77% of those who strongly approved of the president said they were more likely to vote in person.
The Democrats’ tactic of scaring people into mailing in their ballots appears to have worked. Up to sixty million mailed-in ballots are expected to be counted before the tallies are complete. Of course, any ballots that arrive too late to be counted will be blamed on USPS “sabotage” by Trump and his appointees, not on individual voters too witless to heed the warnings of everyone and mail their ballots early. Sometimes, when people act stupidly, they should be called out for it, not given some cockamamie excuse that someone else is to blame.
DO NOT vote by mail or vote early.
It lets the democrats know how many votes they are losing by, and need to manufacture before November.
I voted yesterday in person.
I was told last week was hectic.
It took me 10 minutes to get a ballot.
I voted straight Republican. The Democratic candidates I looked into were all loony.
My wife and I are voting in person. And I don’t want any shenanigans.
Depends on where you live. In my state, we don’t declare for a political party when we register to vote, so there’s no way to know how many of which party has already voted.
do not trust the post office if you can do otherwise.
I predict there will be thousands of people showing up 11/3 who will learn “they have already cast a ballot”.
The end goal is chaos and disarray.
...on Fox news last night, I believe they said some 60 million Americans have already voted, but some 46 million of those votes are mail-in votes...?? I have to believe that the Democrats are indeed going to try to steal this election...how many of those 46 million mail-in votes are legitimate...? I think I have those number right...anybody else heard that item last night....??
EXACTLY....
this happens in Washington state every single election....votes suddenly materialize to offset the wins by pubs....
Very interesting.
I have a friend who works for the postal service and was told they have been dealing with extremely high volumes of campaign mail. For example I get at least one piece of direct mail from the Trump campaign EVERY DAY. Plus mail from lots of other local ballot candidates.
The net effect of this appears to be to slow down the delivery of ballots. I think I made the right call foregoing that to vote in person.
“Seventy-four percent of registered voters who strongly disapproved of Trump said they would vote by mail while 77% of those who strongly approved of the president said they were more likely to vote in person.”
Makes sense to me. EVERY Conservative should distrust Mother Government...and the USPS with something this critical!
Trump. 2020. Landslide! Make It So, FReepers! :)
“DO NOT vote by mail or vote early. IT LETS THE DEMOCRATS KNOW how many votes they are losing by, and need to manufacture before November.”
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
My mail usually comes around 3pm. The last few days it is coming at 7:30pm. As I understand it because so many are calling out, the ones working have double routes.
I never planned to do anything else but vote in person on election day.
That’s because I’m a “Conservative.” I like to “conserve” things, particularly the traditional ways of doing things like voting.
This mail stuff seemed iffy and prime for corruption and even if not corruption, just not reliable. Now we got a full SC, the Dems know the crazy vote stretch probably won’t happen. And they pushed the covid stuff, polls show their voters are more likely scared of it. Just dumb. Keep it simple stupid.
Exactly...we will deliver our ballots to county office on Monday...(will be out of area on Tues) Oregon is all mail but we do not mail, ever.
Who are these “experts” and where do they come from?
Here an “expert”, there an “expert”, everywhere an “expert”, “expert”.
Enough already.
Doubt very much that there is truly a delay...They’re all going to one place....duh...
