Like many of you, I am distressed by the USPS' getting rid of 671 sorting machines which process 36,000 pieces of mail an hour (at NO economic savings), removing mailboxes, and freezing overtime. This effects not only the all important vote but also medical prescriptions, bills, checks, etc.
And the courts--in settling the lawsuits which are certainly being drawn up, and the investigations which are certainly beginning in Congress--must take it. The answer: Voting by email or fax---allowed for SOME voters in 26 states (7 of those allow fax only). This is a drastic solution--and I am suggesting it for 2020 only, due to a national emergency created by COVID, and voter suppression by the Trump administration.

Nineteen states + DC allow some voters to return ballots via email or fax: Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina, Utah, and Washington.
