Because of the possibility of postal delays, election officials advise voters to send in their ballots early as possible.&nbsp;The U.S. Postal Service is facing a multibillion-dollar deficit. Over the last week,&nbsp;&nbsp;just as more U.S. voters than ever are casting their votes via mail.For people who are not sure their ballot will be received on time, they can also drop off their mail-in ballot at a voting center, &nbsp;or a secure county drop box anytime before 8 p.m. on Election Day.&nbsp;Many counties, , have early voting locations available before Election Day.
