People are rightfully concerned about how we as individuals can help ensure every vote is counted in November, particularly for votes cast by mail.
The more we reduce the volume of mail to deliver, the more likely votes by mail will arrive on time.
Early voting of course will help and you can find the calendar by state here:

MORE IMPORTANTLY:
Are you still receiving and paying some bills via USPS? Always intended to move ALL of them to e-bill but just haven't made it a priority?
In my family we easily receive 15 bills per month. Nearly all, but not quite all, are digital at this point.
With 128 million households in the US, imagine if 25% of them moved 2 bills online in August, eliminating the mail version for September and October. We would save 128 million pieces of mail.
If we moved more bills online or had more households do this, we’d improve on that number.
Currently the USPS delivers about 181 million first class pieces of mail each day so the example above could save most of a day’s work, critical given that we have only 84 days until Election Day.
Why is this a win-win-win?
WIN #1 — Help save the election
WIN #2 — Help save the planet
WIN #3 — Avoid losing a bill by throwing it out in error (wish I could say I’d never done that!)
Take 10 minutes this weekend and go paperless on as many bills as possible!
