| Posted: 21 Aug 2020 08:50 AM PDT It's finally Friday! That means it's time to sit back, drink some lychee juice, argue about which Q4 2020 game will be best (it's Assassin's Creed: Valhalla), and talk about what's going on in your life. As always remember to follow our civility rules and save any meta feedback for our modmail. Additionally, please do not post anything directly related to politics in the Friday Fun Thread. We'd like these threads to be a refuge from the often-stressful political cycle. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 21 Aug 2020 09:09 AM PDT Hi Reddit! My name is [Grace Panetta](v), and I've been following and reporting on election administration and voting in the US during this pandemic since March. Our decentralized and complex election system can be really confusing, especially to those of you who are just now starting to follow this story and worrying about whether your vote will count. I'm here to answer all your questions about your vote, what the new changes at the Postal Service really mean, and what to expect about this November's election. [link] [comments]  | ||
