The latest @HHSGov data has inconsistencies & outliers.

i.e. In AZ, inpatient data lines up perfectly between state & HHS. ICU data does not. In RI, the % exceeds 100% in a state with few c19 hospitalizations.

Making data public helps spot (and fix) these issues faster. pic.twitter.com/f6DvjhFw2y

USPS

.@USPS says you should give mail in ballots at least 14 days round trip. No guarantees.

So if you plan to vote by mail, election day isn’t November 3rd.

It’s October 20th.

Or sooner.

Don’t be one of the *tens of thousands* of people whose vote wasn’t counted in 2016.
