So what’s the deal with mail in ballots? Are we or are we not doing it?

I’m hoping we don’t for obvious reasons. But is it set in stone that we are or aren’t?

Unless I'm mistaken they're already being sent out in several states.

The ole better to ask forgiveness than ask permission.

The Masked Covidians (democrats) want to continue this pandemic charade in an attempt to get voting by mail in the swing states. They know the margin of victory for Trump and want to ballot harvest to steal the election. That is what all of this bullshite is about.

Trump needs to outlaw mail in voting unless you’re military. If you’re so lazy that you can’t make it to the polling booth then you don’t deserve to vote.

Depends on which State you live in. Absentee ballots are legal in every State. A mass mail balloting is likely to end up in Federal Court and not likely resolved anytime soon.

California, Vermont, dc, Nevada are trying the all out mail voting.

This will definitely take at best a week to count so we won't know popular vote winner

quote:

No state previously mailed absentee ballot applications to all voters in a general election. This year, DE, IL, MD, MA, MI, WI, IA, and OH will try it. It’s what NY tried in the June primary, overwhelming an unprepared system


These states trying it out ensures we won't know electoral winner for a while. Based on NYs frick up.

This also means there will be serious voting fraud and it will come down to these states.

It's a state by state issue.

I voted absentee overseas on a military base. I will never know if my vote made it as that year they said a lot were lost...

Absentees are for the military/&families, elderly, and people who just had surgery type of things. I had surgery around election time a few years ago and I asked for an absentee ballot. When I saw I needed a notary signature I voted in person.

So if you can make it to a bank for a notary you can go vote. Democrats probably got dem notaries in office to rubber stamp piles of ballots...

Well at the moment, USPS is now having issues staffing the watering stations for the ponies due to the "Covid virus", is one of the deals.


...There's that.

If we do go to all mail in voting, I'm going to follow my mailman around fow a few days and vote for everyone in my neighborhood.

If your lazy arse can stand in a grocery line to check out you can stand in line to vote.

I think, with President Trump's shake up of The postal service, the dems will back off of that plan.

The other solution is move the polls inside walmarts. People don't seem to stay away from those holes.

This could very well end up in SCOTUS. The president's term ends January 20, 2021 at noon.
If the election is in the courts at that time with no certified winner what happens? The 25th ammendment? Now that would make for some melts the size of Jupiter.

Lawsuits challenging the process have been filed all over the country, particularly in quite a few of the most consequential states. So it's really still up in the air for the most part.

I'm cool with this for state elections. For federal elections, they should make the call.
