VOTE EARLY TO BE COUNTED

 The last interview on the Rachel Maddow show is often cut off.  I don't know why.  If you look for the same show the next day on YouTube, it is restored.

Yesterday the interview was with the head of the post office and Maddow asked about Trump's attempts to prevent voting by mail by firing all the top managers.  She was interviewing a major management person whose name I've forgotten.  

He said, "Most of the interference amounts to delaying tactics.  Delaying mail delivery by deadlines, delaying counting the ballots and so on.  The best thing to do -- besides raising Cain with legislators -- is to vote and mail as soon as possible, before the delays are put in place."

He noted that blocking or hiding mail-in votes will affect red states more than blue states, because rural and small town people depend on the mail.
