Americans - my vote has been effectively stolen this year. If mine, how many others? Please vote. Polls mean nothing, only the votes that happen and are actually counted matter.
@hacks4pancakes Make sure you get your county recorder fired for this. Requiring paper submissions is (perhaps on purpose) not up to modern standards. I've never heard of this problem in Pima County Arizona. Our recorders for the last 20 years have protected my right to vote from abroad either emailing a PDF or from this year using an online form.
@hacks4pancakes what possible reason could customs have to intercept letter post even if it wasn’t clearly a ballot form?
Checking for forbidden ideas?
@interpipes of course it was clearly a ballot form. It was paper mail to an elections office.
@hacks4pancakes how do I check? I checked the county website and it says mine was accepted and nothing weird
@hacks4pancakes very sorry to hear it. So much voter suppression of so many different kinds.
@hacks4pancakes As the other commenter suggested, I hope you decide to make a lot of noise about it. Interference like what Customs is doing must be illegal
@solitha @ProPublica I've already reported to the media and to voters rights groups.
@hacks4pancakes
Fuck. That. Shit.
(Mandatory paper ballot seized and not released by US customs for over a month)
