In Indiana, ours took well over a month to reach us. We then decided to vote early in person because there’s no way the USPS could be trusted with another chance.

I’ll add…my daughter in northwest Illinois received her mail In ballot. The return envelope was already sealed. She voted in person as she thought her ballot would be flagged as “tampered” if she tried to put her ballot in.

I live in Cobb County. I hand-delivered my absentee ballot directly to the Cobb County Election Department. It took a week for it to appear as received!!! 😒

All These cheating pricks need to be locked up. Make examples. Dems can’t let it go or this country will have to deal with shit every single time a Republican is elected anywhere. Republicans will keep trying & trying to overthrow our gov till they succeed.Make examples so they’re scared to even try

I doubt the problem is with the postal carriers. The problem is with the MAGA management. Centralizing handling & postmarking in facilities sometimes far away from where the ballots are mailed gives a lot of opportunity to slow, delay, even lose mail.

That's a perennial news story (tho mostly cuz they were just tired of carrying the mail). Any job will have a few such. But their routes aren't big enough to affect an entire town or neighborhood. As usual, the serious corruption happens further up the chain.

Wild. Cobb’s a Blue county with about 60% voting Democrat… which is why it got gerrymandered into FOUR congressional districts. My favorite part is how parts of Marietta & Kennesaw (think: wealthy-ish ATL commuters that wanted yards for their kids) are in GA’s 14th— which stretches to rural TN & AL.
