Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread

Re: Twitter watch
My bullshit sensors are twitching. There are plenty of suggestions in the Twitter thread that this is not an official response to a request for an absentee ballot but a mailshot by the Trump campaign which, ironically, happens to include an absentee ballot request.
