Breaking it down, b/c it’s bracing to see it all in one place. First: books are coming off of shelves in really high numbers this year. 271 books pulled (for LGBTQ content) in Conroe; ~200 books currently off shelves in Hays CISD. 455 in New Braunfels (though some may be returned after review).

i do not have the energy for working through the implications of this tonight other than to say california has ballot dropboxes that are collected daily and therefore can't be wrongly dated, every state should do this and Californians should strongly consider using them over mailboxes
USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked
