So we need to educate people: you do need the Postal Service to receive your mail-in or absentee ballot but you do NOT need the Postal Service to deliver, ie vote, that same ballot. Can return to local elections office any time, or an in person early voting location, or drop box
Not every state has drop boxes, but every state has local elections offices, and all but 5 have early voting. If you want to get your ballot well ahead of the election, vote it at your leisure, and then return it in person without waiting in line, choose one of those 3 options
Your state elections office or secretary of state's website should have addresses for your local elections office, as well as info about when early voting starts and where to go. Drop box info is a bit harder to find, but I'm reporting on that & will continue to.
So yes, the Postal Service may be too slow to get a ballot from you to your state elections officials, but if you request it early, you can still vote before Election Day and likely without standing in line. That's the hack to the problem in this story washingtonpost.com/local/md-polit…
Our latest news.yahoo.com/you-dont-need-…
So here's a state-by-state breakdown of how you can vote early without relying on the Post Office to return your ballot, with links included. In most states you can turn in a mail/absentee ballot in person at county or town offices or at drop box locations.
