    If you insist on doing absentee voting, do like Trump says go in person on November 3rd and make sure you were counted. My wife and I will be providing transportation for those in need. Volunteer yourself if you can. ITS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF OUR LIVES AND THE FUTURE OF OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN.
    GOD BLESS AMERICA
