Mail in Voting .... for and against

[Sandpebble]

I find it interesting that a President that has proclaimed loudly and often his "belief" that mail in voting can only lead to voter fraud has over the years mailed in his own vote.

Permit me to make note that those votes by mail from President Trump over the years have been for both the Republican.... and Democrat Parties, but this is not the point

Obviously the GOP doesn't agree with him as yesterday I received by mail and addressed to me, not one... but two, large flyers from the Republican Party. Both informed me that their "records" indicate that I have not yet returned my absentee mail in ballot and that I should do so at the earliest opportunity .....

.....records ....?

So... why are they seeking what they don't agree with ? ..... just wondering .

I mailed the flyers back to the Republican Party headquarters of Florida in Tallahassee just in case they need to save some money and re mail them to someone else

As I understand it, voting by mail has been popular in FL for some time now, so the state parties are adapted to the reality of it.

Trump for his part is talking out his ass, again, because he's worried that high turnout in some states will sink his re-election.

The USPS, ostensibly in response to a Montana lawsuit, is rolling back many changes made in 2020. The real reason may be Republican panic over the disparity in absentee ballots already in the can. Suddenly a sluggish USPS would seem to hurt more than help.

It's a fair bet that Trump being Trump, he won't read the memo.

AGAIN.

If the democrats didn't see a path of corruption in their favor they would not be pushing it. The Republicans are against it. ONLY the democrats want it. You have to ask why?

Republicans are for ballot harvesting now. Did you miss the memo?

So are they breaking the law or just trying to maximize their vote legally?

For the same reason Democrats were against picture IDs -- makes it much easier to cheat.

And the dead vote again and....again and....again. It's the wonderful Chicago model. Has never failed since Al Capone's time. Why mess with success. Just getter done!!! Mail in voting should be allowed only those too sick or hurt to be able to go out and vote. If you want to vote then make the effort to go out and do it. Just like it was meant to be done.

I remember my grandfather voting the straight Democrat ticket. It made me so sad -- he never would have done that when he was alive.

Wow your comprehension is terrible. The article explains what happened, nothing nefarious. And notice: the applications were flagged correctly as duplicates. Not bogus identity applications. Sheesh.

And we didn't learn from the Democrat goat-rope in Idaho.

Or rather we did -- confusion makes it much easier to cheat.

Like I've said, ONLY the democrats defend and push for mail in ballots.

There shouldn't be any such thing as a duplicate in the first place.

If this wasn't your only hope of getting into our W/H again then it wouldn't be an issue.

Not true. In Florida for example Republicans have valued mail in voting. Trump is attacking mail in voting nationally because he fears the potential for high turnout. Republicans do not have the natural numbers advantage right now.

The question is one of legitimacy--is it better on the whole to send people to DC and state houses with 10% turnout of eligible voters or 75%? Most but not all think 75% is better than 10%.

You fail to comprehend the article that you posted.

Voters in Vermont are being mailed multiple ballots, & Vermont law requires no verification of signatures:

I laughed. Very amusing. Thanks.

Pretty soon the dems will propose voting by email.
