From what I read, it sounds like they're just counting the quantity of ballots by hand to check if it matches the machines, not counting actual votes cast (as in individual selections...). So that'll be interesting when the result is inevitably questioned and scrutinized, they'll have to restart that whole process all over again. Very glad I'm not a voter in GA. (Though I have family there, so I'll have to see what they say...)


So here is another issue (one I'm experiencing personally)... I noticed in the past month or so USPS (our national mail service) is having more problems. I've not really had many issues with USPS in the past except it being delivered to the wrong box. I mailed a mailer across town and it still hasn't gotten there. Mailed over a week ago.

Have another piece of mail still coming out of KY, so several states over. It's almost a month late.

Other people I've talked to are having similar issues. There's problems and more complaints right now about late mail. Even worse, people are losing mail. I'm thinking the mailer is also gone as well, so I'll probably just hand deliver. I can't trust anything to go through USPS atm, so everything from now on will go through UPS.

Anyway, I'm thinking about the mail in ballots. What about the rights of the person who voted when their mail is lost???? Maybe encouraging the voter come in to make sure their vote is actually cast in-person should be the critical point? It's not looking like USPS is setup to handle the additional traffic and definitely won't be helped by the oncoming holiday season..
