While many more Californians than ever before are planning to vote by mail in this November’s election in order to avoid exposure to the coronavirus, Trump’s new Postmaster General, Louis DeJoy, is sparing no effort to make voting by mail harder for all Americans (not just Californians). The recent primary elections in several states have given us a preview of how that works, with ballots being ensnared in postal delays.

Less than 100 days until November 3rd and a crucial election, not just the nationals but local candidates will be running for mayors, councilpersons, state offices, etc. Until now, the focus has been on the Presidential lottery, but let us not forget what Tip O'Neil told us several years ago: All politics is local.

California Executive Order N-64-20 requires that each county’s elections official send vote-by-mail ballots for the November 3, 2020 General Election to all registered voters. Californians who may need access to in-person voting opportunities - including individuals with disabilities, individuals who speak languages other than English, individuals experiencing homelessness, and others - will still be able to access in-person voting opportunities.
