If Mail in Voting (even without fraud) leads to more extreme chaos for days after Tuesday

doesn't this fact alone raise serious questions about its impact on voting (and our democracy, to tie that in here)?

Certain states have developed MIV over a long period of time with pretty strict regulations and, due to this oversight, they get their results in on time. It's a clear sign of a system that works.

Now states like PA are trying this (after the insanity that was 2020) and we've already been told that the delays are going to take days to resolve some very important, very close races. This is going to create a ton of uncertainty, chaos, and general distrust of the system. Even if there is no fraud, how is this a good thing for our elections?

Post-Covid, the benefits just are not there. Even the whole "access" argument would only apply to an incredibly small % of the population. The cost is complete distrust in a system that requires absolute trust to ensure peaceful transitions. The cost-benefit is extremely out of whack.

All that's left is partisan politics and the lies denying this ha anything to do with partisan politics

Many on the PT board hate every eligible American voting except for their
personal know it all opinions on, who can vote, when they can vote and the process on how they can vote.

Many on the PT board do not believe in one person, one vote.

bc I could see voting on a specific Election Day could provide hardships to some.

It’s not that hard to vote on a day other than Election Day.

Anyone have their commie decoder ring handy?

Should people that can’t name the three branches of government or name the current VP or define the electoral college or spell cat really be able to vote?

They can but should they?

I agree it’s not hard to go to a specific location to vote. I’m just saying early in person voting is a benefit and should eliminate that vast majority of problems. Hell it also helps the efficiency for Election Day voting bc it thins the lines.

The Founders (correctly) thought that each state should make this call for itself. I tend to agree with them.

and nobody raised any issues prior to the shitshow that was 2020

Are you serious?

Yeah what % of the population actually needs MIV? It has to be incredibly small. Most states permit absentee voting for the elderly, so that removes a ton of the population that would be argued needs MIV.

---

There are definitely people that need the ability to vote absentee but it is small. (Elderly, home bound, out of the country, etc.).

That being said, you should need to request it and meet certain very easy to achieve security requirements.

It works if your metric is “count the votes on time”.

No, it doesn’t. We just don’t pay attention because the previously affected races weren’t National contests.
