Republicans to press ahead in bid to block some overseas ballots

[SomewhereInTheMiddle]

1. This really has me worried ...

As I mentioned in the PA thread, my wife and I, registered PA voters, mailed in our ballots from Rwanda last week.

Because the Marburg Virus outbreak shut down the US Embassy, we were not able to send them by diplomatic mail, the way they suggest doing. Instead, we are relying on the Rwandan post and international airmail.

All we can do is hope it gets there in time, and they are allowed and counted.

I had a sudden fearful image of us being used as a test case in court as the Repubs try to invalidate our, and many other, votes. Not the sort of publicity I might seek.

Fingers crossed there is a blue wave in PA that will render our votes surplus to requirements.
