I did NOT vote for Donald Trump except retroactively.  I will make up for it this time and I've given him 2k.  Know why?  I did NOT receive my absentee ballot.  I called and the board of elections told me on the phone 'yes we did send it out'.  So then it was either  1) the post office lost or never delivered my absentee ballot 2) a neighbor swiped it (very very unlikely) 3) it was misdelivered to another neighbor (very very unlikely, they'd have hand delivered to me) So I blame the post office.  I called the board of elections the day before the general election and reached no one, they had gone to voicemail.  I called the voting location which was an HOUR away (I'm in the mountains and because of the dumb county rules and how i'm on a county line, instead of going 20 min to a place (sheriffs office down the hill), I have to go down and then over another hill and around it to a school that is far away.  I called and got no answer I would have driven but I was not sure if I would be disqualified because they already sent me an absentee ballot and I was afraid of the optics of voter fraud so I didnt' drive 3 miles out of my way to be accused of voter fraud. I was disenfranchised by the post office.  And I KNOW I was.  And THEY know i was.  I sent an angry email to the postal inspector general and it was ignored for over 3 yrs now.  After the first 6 months, I re-sent it.  Also ignored.  It wasn't rude, it was very forceful though.  I sent a follow up to my board of elections, CC'd the postal inspector general and then when I didn[t' hear back on an inquiry trying to trace my lost ballot; I sent an email to the US GOV OMBUDSMAN in gov affairs to try to get THEM to respond.  This person is the us inspector general of inspector generals.  I got no response from THEM.  I've been aggressively ignored by at least 3 government agencies on this.  The USPO, the FEC and the IGA (intergovernmental affairs) TLDR: Our government is a total fucking G D failure in my book
