Secure your vote

I’ve never been known to solicit conspiracy theories, but this upcoming national election has me a little on edge as far as our current White House tribe and their playing around with politicizing our postal system.

This year I’m encouraging all of you who are not personally casting your vote at a voting station to deposit your ballot envelope in the very secure drop boxes located at our local libraries … they ALL have them (with the possible exception of our main library which is going through renovation) … and these boxes are not serviced by postal workers. Now, I’m not bad-mouthing postal workers, but the workers’ bosses are changing the ground rules.

So beware. I have to assume that none of you want strangers to be messing with your personal election choices, and BE SURE TO VOTE!
