Count ballots in drop boxes or hand-delivered
 

Ballots dropped in an official drop box would NOT be postmarked.  They should be counted! 

Due to the confusion and mistrust fostered by the current occupant of the White House, may people may fear taking a chance on the USPS delivering their ballots.  They may instead choose to either hand-carry their ballots to the election office, or place them in an official drop box.

Those ballots MUST BE COUNTED.

We need to make it easier to vote -- for EVERYONE -- rather than place obstacles in the way.
