9. This is good to know. Many of the news articles I've read gloss over this.

I was worried they took the stamp away from the clerks. I understand the political and voting implications of this rule change, but the news should present an available solution, particularly for non-voting related timeliness. There are many reasons one may need an item postmarked by a specific date, voting only being one of them. To be sure, this will have disenfranchising effect, but less so the more the information is known. There are so many potential changes, Federal, State, and Judicial, to voting procedures in the works between now and November I hope the Democrats can mitigate their intended effect of suppressing votes for Democratic Party candidates.
