Republicans this month passed a new law in Alabama criminalizing some absentee ballot assistance. Voting rights groups in the state believe the law is unconstitutional.
So by putting a stamp on an absentee ballot, therefore paying the postal service to deliver it, am I committing an Alabama felony? Or are interactions with the postal service explicitly exempted from it?

Surprisingly, sending it via USPS is explicitly allowed in the law.

I say surpassing because I totally expected it to be a way for Republicans to kill mail in voting.
