Nov 2

know about (excuse my language) FUCKING DEJOY and the mail.

In the past, they have had all kinds of press gaggles and photo-ops when a President would literally "go to their polling place and vote 'in person'" - like below, when Obama went to vote in 2012 -

But I think the gist of this was Harris endorsing the idea of people using the option since she was doing just that herself (especially since she has been traveling coast to coast continually).

If anything, it could have also been a preemptive move since the media criticizes everything she does anyway and would wonder "why she hadn't returned 'home' and voted yet" or some such nonsense.
