Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson announced on Tuesday that the state government will be sending all registered Michigan voters applications to mail in their ballots as a safety measure against COVID-19.
So how are the mass-mailing companies doing at gearing up? Is the USPS still holding it together?
I’m glad these preparations are being made now, with plenty of time.
Trump will have to send in the 101st Airborne and put a stop to this.
Twitter shit-storm starting in 5…4…3…
OK. Trump just lost Michigan for sure.
Twitter is going to burn up tonight. I can’t wait for the meltdown.
By Friday: Major news from the USPS under Trump’s crony’s control.
I can’t believe “that woman” from Michigan did this…
Brava…
Absentee and mail in ballots can only be mailed by states to the household via certified method, and must be insured. And require a signature to be left by the mail carrier. And the signer must show the mail carrier two forms of identification.
In related news, Barron Trump named Postmaster General.
I understand that. These are the outgoing applications.
That being said, are you implying that there are limits to the actions these people are willing to take to cheat the next election?
Why are the Michigan Governor and Secretary of State not Trump fans?
Rhetorical question - no time for the many reasons y’all could list.
Left unsaid is the greater enthusiasm for Democrats which is accompanying this action.
I thank the FSM every day that she’s our governor.
Wonderful!
Is that the FSM?
Certainly a high ranking noodle.
OT
Umm…sorry, but that’s not true in all states. I am registered in Michigan, I get my absentee ballot sent to my address in Germany with no such requirements.
Also, since I always sent my request for a ballot using the (generic) form that Democrats Abroad provided, I did not know realize that Michigan has one very, very important difference — there is a box that you can check on the application that says “send me a ballot via mail for every election” (check once and you get it in perpetuity). Just found out by coincidence from a friend in southeast Michigan that this existed and, sure enough, checked with the Secy of State office for requesting ballots and there it is, on the official Michigan form, so I am using the State of Michigan form this year. My parents have been getting their ballots sent to them by mail for years (Michigan does NOT require you to give a reason.)
So PSA message to all fellow Michiganders: check the “always” box when filling out your application!!!
No, it’s an FSM true believer (Pastafarian) — wearing his pasta colander on his head.
This guy was allowed to have his colander on for his drivers license photo, due to religious freedom:
