The following is an absolutely true story and it happened to me. I am currently in a skilled nursing unit and unable to go and vote by the regular method. I had an absentee ballot mailed to me and got ready to get it back to the election board. I needed two stamps to send it. Since I am in lockdown and cannot have guests, I asked my wife to get me two stamps. It was going to be easier for her to just drop two stamps in an envelope and mail them to me. She put them in the mail on Aug. 16 thinking that it would be no problem getting to me so that I could mail my ballot off for the Aug. 25 primary election. The two stamps arrived at the skilled nursing unit on Aug. 26, one day after the polls closed on Aug. 25. In other words, it took 10 days to travel a very short distance in Oklahoma City.

I feel that it is amazing that the current administration has allowed this to happen.

Please keep this in mind when you’re casting your vote on Nov. 3.

And just so you know, I’m a registered Republican and have no axe to grind with the current administration.
