ICYMI: WE ARE 5 - FIVE - V - CINCO - DAYS AWAY FROM THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS - ARE YOU READY PENNSYLVANIA?

By Gloria DULAN-Wilson

Hello All:

Well, folks, we are officially 5 - FIVE - V - CINCO - DAYS AWAY FROM THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS - AND THERE'S SO MUCH AT STAKE - NATIONALLY AND LOCALLY!!

Since we didn't get early voting like Georgia, we absolutely have to make lemon merengue pie out the lemons we've been handed and line up to personally put in our MAIL IN BALLOTS in the designated drop boxes in record numbers.

We have to turn out in such record numbers, others will think that we have early voting just like Georgia!!

So, I'm furnishing the addresses of the drop boxes around Philadelphia so those of us who have already opted for mail-in ballots can be assured our ballots are getting counted, and that there are no "Dejoy degenerate machinations" to prevent our ballots getting to the right hands and counted appropriately.

There are 18 Voter Drop boxes for over a million voters in Philadelphia

You can find everything that you need in all 50 states and DC, by typing your address or using the interactive map. This information is both in English and in Spanish.

Since many of traditional polling places have changed, Seniors, and others who want to vote in person, can locate their polling places - either by google - furnishing their address and zip code; or by contacting the Philadelphia COMMITTEE OF 70 - to get accurate information.

THIS, OF COURSE, IS NOT GOING TO BE MY LAST PIECE ON MIDTERM VOTING - AND THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR RIGHT AND RESPONSIBILITY TO VOTE - THE ONLY THING I ASK OF YOU IS TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A PLAN TO VOTE, YOU KNOW WHERE TO GO, AND HAVE YOUR ID WITH YOU.
