Must-read on how Trump can slow down mail service to steal the election - from @ThePlumLineGS.
I hate to say this, but I think it is time to shift our focus from mail/absentee voting...
And focus on *EARLY IN-PERSON* voting. https://twitter.com/ThePlumLineGS/status/1289210640033341440

2/ Here's a thread on which swing states have early in-person voting.
Obviously, in-person voting has Covid-19 risks.
But:
*No long lines on election day.
*No deliberate or accidental mail delays.
*No bad-faith legal challenges on postmarks/signatures to slow down vote count.

12/ The bottom line is that the swing states (including IA and TX but not NH) all have some kind of early voting.
PA is county-by-county, but counties that offer a mail option also provide direct drop-off at county office.
Spread the word:
VOTE EARLY IN-PERSON, NOT MAIL.
