Absentee ballot anxiety hits American expats voting abroad amid a pandemic and changes at USPS
MEDELLÍN, Colombia Panicked calls from overseas voters usually come in November, just two or three days before the election, says Susan Dzieduszycka-Suinat, founder of the nonpartisan Overseas Vote Foundation.
This year, a wave came in August, a crush of voters asking: Where is my ballot? How can I vote from abroad? How can I do it without the U.S. Postal Service?
Its indicative of what I would call, simply, voter hysteria, the leader of the voting rights organization said. They're just seeing red. They're seeing the horror, they're hearing the headlines, and they're panicking.
The headlines being the quagmire involving the U.S. Postal Service.

Trump complains about fraud in the system.
What has he done to protect the the integrity of the vote for the military people who he calls 'losers and suckers'?
