Introduce DRIVE THRU Ballot drops

Also can I make a simple suggestion here. Dems need to introduce mail-in ballot drop points at voting stations, so that people can "mail" their mail-in ballot and get it stamped at the polling station.

In effect they're per-completing their ballots at home, same as a normal mail-in ballot, and not on the machines, and the drop off at the post office is replaced with a drop off at a voting station.

They may as well introduce drive-thru drop off too. Drive in, Drop the mail-in ballot off, its stamped and put into the ballot box in front of them, drive on.

Why?

1. Well Trump has spiked the mail-in ballot option. He's put a puppet into the USPS, the head is not a postmaster, he's a partisan Trump donor:

2. The Republican Supreme Court has ruled in the Wisconsin case that ballots that the post office received, but failed to stamp with the date (due to lack of staff due to Covid19), could not be counted. The Republican Supreme Court, literally just wiped thousands of votes off the ballot, forcing more in-place voting and likely more deaths.

So all Trump has to do to spike the mail-in vote, is to get his buddy in USPS to close post offices near elections in Democrat districts at the last minute wiping out a lot of mail-in ballots in those districts. The ballots won't be stamped, and so won't be counted. They already know which target districts to block, they had that for 'Red Map' Gerrymandering.

Hence you need to take some steps:

a. Spread voting dates and allocate age ranges to each dates. So that over 65s vote on a different day to under 30s. Keeping infected groups away from vulnerable group during voting. Give them more time to vote, more days, split the voting groups by age.

b. Allow mail-in ballot drops at voting stations. People should be made aware of Republican plans here, so they know that Trump can undermine the USPS. If they are not sure if their mail-in ballot will arrive, they can do the drop off.

c. This also undermine the Republican lie that mail-in is all fraud and all fraud against Republicans. Since someone dropping off 100 ballots in one go, is suspicious, and if those ballots turned out to be fraudulent it would be traceable back to them.

d. You need to realize that this is not enough. Republican States like Florida and Ohio will intentionally run risky elections intended to cause deaths as a means to suppressing those election. Do not be surprised when this happens. Do not be surprised when the Republican Supreme Court backs them regardless of the death toll they cause, see point 2.

Trump has a meeting, they plot their bad deeds, and he gets a boner telling you the crime they're about to do, by pre-emptively accusing his opponents of it. Trump just said "Dems are trying to steal the election". He's telling you what he's about to do. Look for his boner statements.
