Mark HertlingOur family used mail-in ballots several weeks ago, but this morning I check to ensure my ballot was delivered (and counted). Everyone should do the same. #Vote https://www.vote.org/ballot-tracker-tools/
Ok this is embarrassing but does anyone know how to pin a toot? When I click the three dots on one of mine I see options to delete it or to block or mute myself, all of which are pretty much the opposite of what I’m trying to do.
