Either you are going to be absent on election day, or you are over 65, or disabled.
It's not going to be easy for those people to just show up on election day.

Christmas cards.

But they can't manage 100,000,000 (a fraction of the 5 billion) in the 2.5 months between now and November.

Recently ruled only those 65 or older, the disabled, and in certain cases, absentee voting, if you can prove you will be away from home on election day, can vote by mail. The rest of us have to vote in person in early voting or on election day. In Texas, slowing down the mail would harm conservatives as seniors are one of their most reliable voters.

All the democrats that I know vote in person, either early or on Election Day. I really expect the USPS issue to impact older red voters more.

He doesn’t care who he hurts, as long as he sees benefit for him in an action. The stunning thing is that he has many collaborators in the Republican Party and business. I wonder what the deathbed of those collaborators will be like.
