The Post Office nearly imploded with mail-in ballots in 2016; with the Forever Trumper as Postmaster General, mailing your ballot in 2020 is playing Russian Roulette with your vote. thehill.com/homenews/admin…
But, since voting in-person on Election Day can kill you, get your absentee ballot from your local county board of elections and return it there. Or, use drop boxes in states that have them. gregpalast.com/rush-to-vote-b…
Otherwise, ask for your ballot at least 8 weeks before election. In most states, you can take the mail-in ballot to an early polling station—and safely drop it off.
Don’t Just Pick and Lick: Make sure you follow your state’s #VoteByMail rules, no matter how berserk.

While the rest of the US had massive voter turnout in 2016, in parts of #Wisconsin, voting fell off a cliff. Which parts? In Black-majority Milwaukee, turnout plummeted from 66 percent to 56 percent of the voting-age population. That’s strange... gregpalast.com/wisconsin-eats…
And #Wisconsin’s student vote evaporated. Nationwide, only two states recorded a drop in student voting. Wisconsin’s drop was breathtaking: In-precinct voting by students declined by a third, from 67 percent to 49 percent. gregpalast.com/wisconsin-eats…
They didn’t need to drag #Wisconsin’s lakes to find the missing students and Black voters. They were disappeared in plain sight by the Republican legislature under laws crafted by Wisconsin’s radical-right governor, Scott Walker. gregpalast.com/wisconsin-eats…

In 2016, Donald Trump "won" Michigan by 10,704 votes. Officially.

Here’s what you don’t know: 75,355 ballots were never counted.

That’s official, too. Just “spoilage,” that is, ballots that were, for some technical reason, untallied. gregpalast.com/1913369-ballot…
Not just anyone’s vote gets “spoiled.” In Michigan, in 2016, most of these vanished votes were cast in Detroit — where only one in ten city residents are white. Motown. Not exactly Trump-ville. gregpalast.com/1913369-ballot…

It’s official: 1,913,369 ballots were cast but never counted in the 2016 presidential race. That’s from the US Elections Assistance Commission. gregpalast.com/1913369-ballot…
And not just anyone’s ballot gets tossed into the electoral dumpster. The US Civil Rights Commission took a look at #Florida’s throw-away pile and calculated that your chance of having your vote simply go uncounted, “spoiled,” is 900% higher if you're Black than if you're white.
Trump’s call for an army of 50,000 vigilantes is laughable: some schmuck in a Hawaiian shirt and MAGA cap won’t scare off voters of color. But 50,000 challengers, challenging every single ballot for Biden — that could succeed. gregpalast.com/1913369-ballot…
