I thought that absentee ballots were not opened and counted until Election Day. When I participated in 2018 that was the case. If we have millions of absentee/ mail in ballots we will need a lot more volunteers to count these ballots. A lot.
We can’t just ask for mail in ballots we have to support their ability to get those ballots counted in a timely and efficient and accurate manner.
If you are able to, volunteer to count those ballots.

In Colorado, all voting is by mail, and they have poll ballot boxes that voters can place their ballots into - similar to mailboxes, but different-looking and clearly marked as for ballots. The Wisconsin Election Commission has let the Wisconsin Clerks know that they can establish drop boxes for absentee ballots that must be secure and emptied daily, but not all clerks have done so. I have asked my municipality to install one, and I would encourage all of us to ask our local clerks to do so. We know how important this election is!
