If you want to vote by mail please do so as soon as you can and consider dropping it off at the counter where they will postmark it right away.

Also if you live in a state where you're allowed to photograph your ballot consider doing so to have proof you voted a certain way.

Note that as a counterpoint the federal register website claims they are just clarifying language to improve public understanding: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/08/12/2025-15266/postmarks-and-postal-possession

I didn't check that document very closely yet.

Here in Colorado we vote by mail, in person or, relevant to this development, we are allowed to drop a ballot into an actual ballot container. It's like a mailbox but only unlocked during elections.

Great for suburbanites like me but in rural districts might be a bit of a hike.

Our governor is pretty much an asshole but yeah, he's standing up to Trump a little.

Thing is, he can't do anything about the USPS
