This PSA brought to you by my family groupchat, where every election we work very hard to make sure the three absentee voters all get their ballots and return them on time. The clerk's office in Madison, Wisconsin knows me well!
Also read the absentee ballot directions EXTREMELY carefully; now is not the time to get your ballot thrown out because you use pencil instead of ink.
As my fellow overseas voters know, mail shenanigans can take a *while.* So now - not in two weeks, not in a month - is when you need to exercise constant vigilance and make sure you get your ballot in time to send it back for November.
MANY (though not all) STATES CAN SEND OVERSEAS/ABSENTEE VOTERS AN *EMAIL* BALLOT IF YOURS IS TAKING TOO LONG TO SHOW UP/ GETS LOST IN THE MAIL. [You have to send the ballot back via mail] CONTACT YOUR CLERK'S OFFICE TO FIND OUT.
IF YOU ARE AN OVERSEAS ABSENTEE VOTER, IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO *ORDER* A BALLOT IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO DO IT TODAY
*taps sign for nonpartisan Election PSA* IF YOU ARE AN OVERSEAS ABSENTEE VOTER, NOW IS THE TIME WHEN YOU SHOULD BE RECEIVING YOUR BALLOT IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A BALLOT YET, FOLLOW UP WITH YOUR LOCAL CLERK'S OFFICE
Again begging "AI" boosters in academia to explain to me exactly how the energy use, water guzzling, educational destruction reported by teachers, outsourced human labor in the Global South, and constant infusions of VC cash to keep it all afloat factor into their praise of this amazing technology

the electoral implications are no-win for people who care about ending the genocide in Gaza. If Trump wins, he will make things worse, and there is virtually no chance that Democrats tack left on this issue in the future. But if Harris wins, it shows that voters who care about this can be ignored.
