Re: Los Angeles Mayoral Election

So what is the right thing to do when something (7 day grace period for receipt of the ballot) is good (in a very small way) but looks bad?

Also, with the post office deteriorating, making a cutoff immediately on Election Day becomes increasingly undemocratic.

As an aside: I sent my NY tax return in on 4/3/2026 with a tracked letter. It hadn't arrived by 4/15, so to avoid the risk of penalties I chose to pay my taxes due electronically on that date (my tax return said take it out of my account on 4/15).

My return arrived 4/30 (though USPS tracking still says it's on its way with last activity on 4/9) and NY took my money out twice. So I have a tax credit I didn't actually want to pay. All because USPS took 4 weeks to get a tracked item from NYC to Albany.
