ezs note: When I filled out my ballot, I was very careful. I filled out the bubble next to a candidate completely. I signed and dated the inner envelope. When your new name is not yet 'official', please use your legal name. In the outer envelope, write in the upper left-hand corner in BLOCK LETTERS your legal name, address, city or town, 2-letter state abbreviation, and ZIP code. Doing this might mean an extra five minutes... but it's worth it.

ezs note: To Connecticut residents, and those of New England, I REST MY CASE.

nation of Connecticut (if the worst happens)

I am writing to you about a subject I would never have dreamed of. However, Donald Trump currently is our President.
Let us examine the upcoming 2020 race. More and more, Trump is not planning on winning the popular vote. He is not even planning on winning the Electoral College. Rather, he plans on winning by fiat and baldfaced lying.
It is late September, and much remains to occur. However, experience tells us that Trump consistently lies, in matters both small and large. If the worst happens, can we honestly give this cretin a pass? For me, the answer is clearly NO.
Once again, if the worst happens, I urge you to separate Connecticut from the rest of the states. I hope that, in time, the rest of the New England states will do likewise.
I hope that this never happens, and the United States will steer a just, more equitable course.
Sadly, Trump will not allow this to happen.
