Letter: Make sure your vote is counted

The U.S. post office was constitutionally founded partially to democratize the availability of information, creating an informed electorate. Now under fire from forces that want to suppress your voting rights, the Postal Service has been constrained in its capacity to do its job. You can help the Postal Service by doing your part. Be informed on the election and vote as early as possible. Mail your ballots as soon as you can, avoiding chances that your ballot gets delayed in a last-minute surge of activity. Make sure your vote gets counted.

We encourage readers to express their views about public issues. Letters to the editor are subject to editing for brevity and clarity. Limit letters to 200 words (100 words if endorsing or opposing a political candidate or ballot measure) and allow 30 days between submissions. Send Us a Letter
