ATTENTION: I just learned that the DoW (formerly DoD) made it impossible for military stationed overseas to vote by mail: Ballots used to be FAXED to their Sec of (each) state, but now the FAX system has been removed. This has disenfranchised a LOT of voters.

@Catawu

They should still be able to vote by mail, as long as Louis Dejoy is not around to pitch ballots.

It is telling that the fascists know that they no longer have support from military staff.

@SpaceLifeForm Ballots cannot be forwarded. You have to change your mailing address with Sec State agency in charge of Voter registration. If you are overseas, that means you have to gain a ballot by going online but you have to FAX it to your home state. The only FAX acceptable for military ballots has been decommissioned. All military mail goes through one clearing house. You can’t send by mail and expect it to arrive in time. Some will, most won’t. If you change your addy, it req’s FAX

@SpaceLifeForm LDJ btw, also stalls mail for weeks at a time especially around voting time. That’s another reason a lot of people FAX in their absentee ballots. Vote by mail is fine if you are IN the US to begin with but overseas mail is what they broke the post office (Dept) for. Ballots seem to take a lot longer— last time mine took 3 weeks from when I mailed it to when it was received. Prior to 2016 it took 6 days.
