Bill Maher made a good point a few days ago, saying from now until the election, DON’T send or order anything through the mail. They USPS needs to be able to clear up their backlog so they can process all the ballots coming up.
Bill Maher Calls For #FreeUpTheMail Campaign Against Donald Trump USPS Voting “Scheme”
I thought it was a good idea, so I am passing it along. Write all the emails and texts you want, especially to GOTV, but if the Post Office is so busy getting GOTV postcards to people that they don’t have the ability to get ballots out and back in time, we will have made a big mistake.
And for all of you who have already written all those post cards to GOTV, if you are going to send them, do it now, not later, when they will interfere even more with the ballots. Since mail is being delayed up to ~3 weeks already, they will get there later than you think anyway.
No, I am not a Russian troll, and on any other year I would be advocating all the letters we can send, but with all the backlog they are dealing with, this made sense to me. My family is not sending or ordering anything we can live without until after the election.
If someone with more Mojo than myself would like to take this idea and run another diary with it, please be my guest. I want more people to see it, and consider it. This isn’t about ego, this is about making sure that votes get counted.
