I know we expect dirty tricks but this article made my stomach drop. Can this really be true when we all feel this enthusiasm for Trump but none for Biden?

quote:

Democrats are amassing an enormous lead in early voting, alarming Republicans who worry they’ll need to orchestrate a huge Election Day turnout during a deadly coronavirus outbreak to answer the surge. The Democratic dominance spreads across an array of battleground states, according to absentee ballot request data compiled by state election authorities and analyzed by Democratic and Republican data experts. In North Carolina and Pennsylvania, Democrats have a roughly three-to-one advantage over Republicans in absentee ballot requests. In Florida — a must-win for President Donald Trump — the Democratic lead stands at more than 700,000 ballot requests, while the party also leads in New Hampshire, Ohio and Iowa.

Of course they are. This is not shocking to anyone who has 1/2 a brain. The dems are balling out on doing whatever it takes to win. This is not going to be an honorable election.

Question - if it’s absentee, that requires a voter to be registered right?

If that’s the case, that’s fine with me. What I dont want to see is mass mailing of ballots to people who aren’t registered or didn’t request a ballot.

This doesn't really surprise me as the party line for the left is that is "too dangerous" to vote in person.

I also believe most right wing supporters don't trust the mail in voting system and want to vote in person to assure their vote counts.

I think there has always been a bias in favor of in person voting for the right.

I've been doing door to door surveys for the RNC and NOT one person wants a vote by mail. None!

Conservatives don't trust it at all

Dude, Dems have been been filling out ballots ever since they started the mail-in voting push. If you think they are waiting until the last moment to fill out those ballots, you're naive.

Trump voters are not giant pussies. They will vote on Election Day.

Although this is close

quote:

Even more concerning for Republicans, Democrats who didn't vote in 2016 are requesting 2020 ballots at higher rates than their GOP counterparts. The most striking example is Pennsylvania, where nearly 175,000 Democrats who sat out the last race have requested ballots, more than double the number of Republicans, according to an analysis of voter rolls by the Democratic firm TargetSmart.
