If you want to vote by mail please do so as soon as you can and consider dropping it off at the counter where they will postmark it right away.

Also if you live in a state where you're allowed to photograph your ballot consider doing so to have proof you voted a certain way.

Note that as a counterpoint the federal register website claims they are just clarifying language to improve public understanding: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/08/12/2025-15266/postmarks-and-postal-possession

I didn't check that document very closely yet.

Sure but you gotta remember, your system is run by Germans, we just have fucking Americans in charge of everything over here!

It's possible that American trains are more on-time to than German trains these days....

"American" "trains"? I understand those words separately, but they don't make sense together

Nah, order and organization is a German thing, not a Nazi thing.

The center right government in Germany spent the last decade or so underfunding public institutions, such as Deutsche Bahn, and now train travel in Germany sucks ass.

Ah, I thought you were making a The US is Run by Nazis joke. Which, y'know, it basically is these days.
