What to know about mailing in your ballots if you haven't already,

why some experts say it may be time to find another way to turn it in.

Also, a recent officer involved shooting has sparked protests and riots in Philadelphia and a hurricane is on track to hit

New Orleans today. Plus this year's World Series champion by internet from

Welcome, welcome to the Newsworthy. All the days news in around 10 minutes.

Fast, fair, fun, and on the go. I'm Erica Mandy. Thanks so much for being here. You're ready? Let's do this.

With just six days before election day, experts have a warning for anyone who still has a mail-in ballot.

They suggest you drop it off in-person at election offices or secure drop boxes instead of sending it through the mail.

And if you requested but have not received your ballot yet,

they say plan to vote early in person if that's an option where you live.

That's because, as the Washington Post reports, mail service is lagging, especially in

certain swing states like Michigan and Wisconsin. And that's a big problem because those same states

also do not accept mail-in ballots that arrive after election day regardless of the

postmark.

Around the country, about 86% of first-class mail is being delivered on time and the U.S.

Postal Service says election mail like ballots are the agency's top priority

now through election day. Still, the USPS has urged voters to mail ballots at least a week

before election day and we are now past that deadline.

And other experts say we're close enough to the election date now

that it is time to find a backup plan just in case.
