Get involved in pick-up of mailed ballots

Our postal system is or was the first and at the time the only constitutionally protected service. How did we allow the government to change the mandate? How do we going forward make it work for all American citizens?

If you have ever been an election judge, or if you want to volunteer, call your county clerk's office and ask if they will allow you to operate as a volunteer Citizen Ballot Pick-Up driver. Basic requirement is one member of each team comes from the Democratic or Republican party and they must be voters.

Teams could pick up sealed mail bags from the regional mail sorting centers and return them sealed to the county vote-counting centers. They could also pick up completed ballots from any locally designated sites, such as village halls or police stations.
