Anybody who thinks we can go from mail in ballots limited to Seniors over 65 and those who have legitimately qualified for other reasons to literally millions and millions of ballots inundating the system that has not had to handle that volume level and up until early this year there was no plans for mass voting by mail...without a lot of problems is kidding themselves. I saw an article about a mail in voting snafu in Mass, a definitely deep blue state where democrats reign supreme and yet they screwed up an election and lost 4 thousand mail in ballots and created a mess. Multiply that by a million times and that's the potential for screw ups in the Nov election. But then it's no doubt Trumps fault. Of course then there is that the Postal Union workers are all Trump operatives... Thousands Of Mail-In Ballots In Franklin Not Counted On Election Day BTW for what it's worth i've voted by mail since I became eligible.
We are about to have a real third world election. The kind of stuff you find in El Salvador, Gambia, Cambodia.
Only a fool would knowingly vote by mail this election... of course I may vote by mail and not know it!
On one of the political boards I frequent a poster said what Scott said, that you should vote in person if you want to make sure your vote is counted. Again the reason is a system that was not setup to handle 10's of millions of mail in ballots.
a little cold and cloudy in MKE and discovered that Henry decided to dig a huge hole in the part of the back yard that I recently successfully spot seeded. No cheese curd snacks tonight, buddy.
Here's todays examples of vote by mail disaster https://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/crime/article246313825.html and New Jersey Postal Service Worker Arrested For Allegedly Dumping Mail, Including Election Ballots What a cluster **** this next election is going to be with mail carriers like the one above and candidates like the one in Texas.
I'm no fool but voting by mail is the only way to vote in New Jersey. No machines at polling places ex. for the disabled. If you insist on voting in person it is by paper ballot and is provisional which means it may not be counted. Murphy put the kabosh to in person voting. We have already had several incidents of discarded ballots, ballots mis-delivered etc. Welcome to the United States of El Salvador.
I have my mail in ballot will be dropping it off at my post office just like I have been doing since I became eligible 10 years ago.
If that is what you believe you haven't been paying attention to the vote by mail at all. Trump has said all along he believes in absentee ballots where you have to apply for one but he doesn't believe they should just be mailed to all registered voters. I some times struggle with whether you are lying or really believe a lot of the crap you post.
From Reuters: "Voting by mail has a long history of reliability in the United States, serving as the primary method of voting in Colorado, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Hawaii, which automatically send registered voters mail-in ballots. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, California, Nevada, New Jersey, Vermont, and Washington, D.C. have introduced the same procedure for the 2020 vote ( here ) ." So 4 states plus D.C. send unsolicited mail-in ballots to registered voters when they did not do that before Covid. So who is telling the truth on this issue when Trump says 80 million unsolicited ballots are being sent to voters...... Why don't YOU wake up and see what the facts are? Fact check: Clarifying Trump’s 80 million ‘unsolicited’ ballots claim " VERDICT False. 80 million “unsolicited” mail-in ballots will not be sent to voters ahead of the 2020 presidential election. Ten states and jurisdictions are proactively sending out ballots, some for the first time due to the coronavirus pandemic, for an approximately 44.2 million registered voters in total.

I'm going to walk in, show my driver's license, have them check mark my name off the approved voter list, vote, take my wife and my MAGA hat out to eat. I like and trust that process. Mail ins?....sketchy.
I've been getting get out the vote texts from the Michigan Democratic Party even though I've been living in FL for 6 years. What list are they working off of and will I be sent a ballot? Since I'm not there to get it what will happen to it? We know that the governor violates the Constitution what more can we expect? Whose going to count them? Who won the Iowa Democratic primary? No on knows to this day.
MCG is doing what he always does. Being an ass. His response had nothing to do with what I said about Terry's post and my response about absentee voting. His hate and lack of logic run so deep and to think he might need help. I am speaking for myself in this post and not a moderator. However as a moderator I am making sure he keeps his hatred off any forums but the political one.
