I am getting ready to mail my ballot and the envelope says, Put first class postage here, in a box in the upper right corner of the envelope. Be sure to sign the back of the envelope and fill out the other info requested or it will be thrown away.

Vote in person at your precinct. I don't trust the postal service's union workers to do their jobs right. Letter carriers, clerks and mail handlers unions are all controlled by the group whose name starts with the fourth letter of the alphabet.

Our ballot said $0.70 postage needed to return by mail.

:confused:

Some states have lots of places where you can drop off ballots early that will be picked up by the election people without going through the mail. I read last night that there is only ONE of these for the entire Houston metro area, with 4.7 million people. I find that disturbing.

We never had any reports of fraud, so please quit listening to the fear mongering.

Dead voters don't report "fraud." :1rotfl:

Politicos screaming 'fraud' before a vote is counted, are usually getting their losing excuse ready.:icon_wink:

As the original poster stated this is not political. I ordered an item which was shipped and received at my post office on September 25, 2020. I know this by the tracking number. I have still not received this package. If they can't deliver something from the local post office to my mailbox in 11 days what does this say about them delivering millions of mail in ballots in a timely fashion.
Is it so hard to exercise your vote by voting in person? What has become of this nation? WWII is probably the last war we will ever win as a unified nation. I am sorry to say we will fail because of our own success. I intend to fight until the bitter end. Unashamed and unrepentant for my love of this country its constitution and its history, with all its warts and blemishes no matter what the crybaby feelgood current apologists say.

Google early voting sumter co, fl. It will bring up a list of all early voting sites and drop off spots.

Mine is from Lake County and the postage is paid. No need for a stamp. Says that right on the envelope. Maybe Sumter County is different.

Dropped ours at usps, it arrived thru tracking.

Dropped my mail in envelope yesterday at the Library. Only two people in front of me and no postage needed. Easy.

Dilligas 10-07-2020 08:34 AM

The line could have been for payment of county taxes. I dropped off our ballots yesterday and was told to give them to a person collecting inside by the desk. There was one ahead of me. The desk person looked over the ballot envelope to insure all was completed accurately then dropped them into the box.

But there is no way to stop postal employees from throwing ballots in the trash! Since they stupidly printed the political party on the outside of the envelope, any disgruntled postal employee can discard the ballots of the party he disagrees with. Already discarded ballots have been found around the country!! Mail in voting should be banned!!
