always drop ours off in the county #ballotbox box. There's no postal service involved. :)

Yea that's the way😁 but I'm worried _IF_ the reports are true, that the #USPO is underfunded, then the folks who vote in the Nov. #midterms2026 #midterms might have their #MailinVoting "lost in the mail or "return to sender" 😱

If you live in a sate with robust mail-in registration and voting, or know people who do, you need to be aware and share: the new USPS rule on postmarks will affect you, and may entirely disenfranchise you.

In an Intense Election Year, New Post Office Rules Could Trip Up Voter Registration - Bolts

#MikeJohnson and other senior lawmakers gave the unmistakable impression they now consider that bill to be a SENATE problem even after Trump INSISTED the HOUSE take it up a THIRD time and add on more CONTROVERSIAL provisions, such as a NEAR-TOTAL BAN on #MailInVoting www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Trump says his bill would ‘gua...

Trump says his bill would ‘guarantee the midterms.’ House Republicans are moving on.

GOP leaders are not leaping to take immediate action on a new version of the SAVE America Act.

Voter ID!

Is requiring ID to vote common sense — or voter suppression? Righty Jim mocks Democrats for calling Voter ID racist, and Lefty Al fires back that it’s a red herring — a political sleight of hand designed to suppress Democratic turnout. You decide!

Trump Tells GOP Lawmakers to “Get Smart” and Eliminate Early Mail-In Voting

“The seeds are being planted to rig the midterms,” one journalist wrote in response to Trump’s comments.

Trump Tells GOP Lawmakers to “Get Smart” and Eliminate Early Mail-In Voting – The USA Potato

TomKrajci 🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️Oct 15

Early voting appears to be working just fine in New Mexico.

This morning, around 8AM I dropped my mail-in ballot envelope in the drop box outside the Otero county clerk's office.

The 6PM early/absentee voting *report shows that the ballot was received/accepted/processed.

(*See https://universeodon.com/@KrajciTom/115299300535659397 )

OK, this is just one data point, but I wanted to share it.

Attached: 1 image Early voting starts soon in New Mexico. I have submitted a data request to my county clerk. Why? I'm assisting some local campaigns, and the county clerk will send out 'dailies' during early voting. They show which voters have cast a ballot in person, or requested an absentee ballot...and shows the status of the absentee ballot (accepted, or only requested). We will remove early voters from our canvas/knock/call lists. As it gets closer to election day, and a voter has not submitted their absentee ballot, we may visit or call them. Local elections - if you don't support your candidates for village council, school board, etc....nobody outside your county will...they'll be too busy chasing the big campaigns that will be voted on in 2026. #NewMexico #Voting #Elections #Community #CommunityBuilding #Neighborhood #Local
