Ballot opened by US Customs when sent via DHL

[kimmy]

Hi All,

Just a warning to US citizens who may be sending a ballot back by courier.

My ballot was opened by US Customs and thus invalidated when I sent it back to the US via DHL with some other letters. My mother in Oregon is going to see how we can get around this issue (email voting in Oregon is an option. I'm lucky to have a mother who is concerned and is going to look into it from the US side.) The point is, it may not longer safe to send your ballot back by courier. (I've sent my ballot back by courier from Mexico for 25 years with no issues.)

If other people have had positive/negative experiences sending back ballots with DHL or FedEx for this election, please share.

I'll post an update when I have more info.

Kim
