This should be very concerning to all Americans who believe in democracy & fair elections, regardless of party affiliation.

Bezos should use his amazon delivery service to collect and deliver ballots. 
Trump couldn’t stop him from doing it like he can mess with the post office and other courier services.

If you're against the facts, you're against the facts, such as the outcome of an election. Gutting infrastructure is textbook fascist retreat strategy, this is just the electoral version. My guess would be this backfires pretty seriously.

Give me enough disinfectant & I'll deliver votes in my Volvo.

This thought crossed my mind, too. Designated volunteers in neighbourhoods delivering ballots via car/van/truck etc.
Where would they have to go? My guess is some state capital building. Could be a long drive from some areas, no? Obvi depends on the size of the state..
Thinking about if that happened Here and we had to deliver ballots to our provincial capital it’d be doable but it would suck. From the farthest reaches of B.C. it’d be a couple day journey, and then there’s the ferry over to Vancouver Island in order to get to Victoria - $150 for one small car & driver. But I suppose quite a few ballots could fit in a car so even if fuel & ferries cost $200-500/car depending on where they’re travelling from, so be it. Stamps are over a buck a piece anyways. lol I haven’t been to the island for 20 years Because it’s $150 in ferries round trip to go there and there’s nothing there worth that to me, yet I’m likely going to join my brother and his coworkers on a 5 day motorcycle trip around this time next year where the ferry costs $375 (+ tax?) for bike & rider. But apparently this particular motorcycle trip known as “The Long Loop Around,” is breathtakingly beautiful - and I’ve never been to that part of B.C. at all, sooo, even with no ballots I’m in. :p
