Politics 👩‍⚖️ Mail in ballots

15 Upvotes

Anybody else have issues with their mail in ballots just never showing up?

I would really rather not have to walk almost 40 minutes to my polling place when I don't have the energy to after work (I don't drive).

I applied over a month ago, got the email saying I was approved, and even got an email from USPS Informed Delivery that showed it was arriving last Saturday, only for it to not be in my mailbox.

Alex's father, Michael Pretti, delivered a message to U.S. Attorney for Minnesota Dan Rosen and Attorney General Todd Blanche.

“Look in your heart and do what is right, share the evidence now so prosecutors can follow the facts and hold these men accountable. Do your job and stop shielding Alex’s killers.

Susan Pretti spoke to Alex Pretti's character and said the federal government lied about him.

“The federal government went on TV and lied about Alex,” she said. “They tried to slander his memory to cover up their crime. Not only was it wrong, it was shameful, unfair and unacceptable.”

Susan Pretti said the family wants to hold accountable the people who fatally shot her son.

She said the family received thousands of cards and letters from across the country since his death, adding that the cards helped with the family's grief.
