Get this bullshit off of Facebook.... Vote-by-mail is a fraud venture praying on people's fears about covid-19. This is a Democrat ploy so that cheating can be allowed and they know it. Get off your ass and go to the physical voting polling station. wear a mask if you have to and stay six feet apart if you have to but get out and vote for Republicans only. yes I was a Democrat for 31 years but I sure as hell I've seen the light about my old Democrat party and the crooked media. This may be your last chance to vote and save the country because if the Democrats win our country is going down the tubes and our elections will all be rigged from that point on.
Voting in person. Mail in voting is too easy to cheat. With the way the post office is, you don’t know where , when or if your ballot will get there.
