If you want to vote by mail please do so as soon as you can and consider dropping it off at the counter where they will postmark it right away.

Also if you live in a state where you're allowed to photograph your ballot consider doing so to have proof you voted a certain way.

Note that as a counterpoint the federal register website claims they are just clarifying language to improve public understanding: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/08/12/2025-15266/postmarks-and-postal-possession

I didn't check that document very closely yet.

Some of the voter suppression involved having a single voting place for a large area, and closing it at 5pm even though there was a very long line of people still waiting to vote.

If you can't guarantee your postal vote will be counted, and you can't guarantee that you'll get into a voting booth, what do you do?

I agree with the sentiment of voting however you can. It's one of the few ways that people get to decide how the country is run. I'm just angry that this right is being gradually taken away.

You can often early vote in person at your county clerk's office!
