“If a state refuses to turn their absentee voter list over to the federal government, will the Postal Service still mail their ballots under this proposal rule?” Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.), the committee’s top Democrat, asked Steiner.
“Under our proposed regulation, no,” Steiner replied.
One more reason to drop the ballot in a drop box if one is available to you.
I’ve been voting absentee for years and have never returned it through the post.
It’s the other direction. The ballot won’t get to you to drop off.
States such as Washington allow you to print your ballot if it doesn’t arrive in time.
