Requiring voters to expend the minimum amount of effort to ensure the legitimacy of the process is in no way limiting democracy.

I get why he is doing it but if you are going to do away with it be consistent. Get rid of mail in voting for all states and counties. Not just the Democrat ones.


Your logic is flawed and wrong. No disrespect. Mail in Voting is prevalent in only 5 or six already Blue States, so it makes NO DIFFERENCE right now as it stands, President Trump wouldn't win those states anyway.

What President Trump and all real educated Americans are trying to PREVENT is a wide open orgy of mail in voting in all other states who up until now, and as promoted by the leftist/socialist democrats, would be unheard of. The dems know it is the only way they can get enough cheating in on a scale which would allow them to win. It's not going to happen anyway, so it's all moot.

Mail-in voting is a sham being pushed by the Democrats to commit more voter fraud than they already do. They're riding this on the back of absentee voting but that's a false equivalence.

1. Each voter has to request an absentee ballot. This means that, even if the ballot is being mailed to them, they know to expect it. It also means that anyone trying to steal absentee ballots from mailboxes would have a much harder time finding them.

2. Voter roles are often outdated. This means there's nothing stopping someone from receiving multiple ballots for people who lived at that location at one time, are just believed to be living there (falsifying information or clerical error, for examples) or filling out ballots meant for others but were put in their box on accident.

3. We've already seen issues with large apartment complexes where residents or postal workers just toss unwanted ballots on the ground or in a garbage can. Nothing stops someone from gathering them all up, filling them out and sending them in.

4. A recent test done by a Philly TV station had ~3% of ballots they had mailed never being returned (the segment actually started off with the reporter having to get a manager at the post office to go find their initial batch of returns as nothing was ever put in their box and the person working the counter swore up and down there was nothing in the back for them... lo and behold the manager found it after being pressed and seeing this was going to be on the local news).

5. Unless you have a legitimate excuse (like military service or being unable to leave your home) it's just fricking lazy. Hundreds of thousands of men and women have died defending our rights and now we can't even be bothered to wait in a line for an hour or so for an event we know the date of years in advance?

Finally, this is something being championed by the same group that fights against any form of voter ID as they consider it a form of racial discrimination against blacks (nevermind the fact that we've had it here in La for decades and not once have I ever gone to vote and not seen multiple blacks in line and voting). That alone should tell you something.

I know.

It is probably a few obsolete machines being replaced by some other method or machine.

The Post Office is not going to suddenly get worse by not sorting mail.

This is a teachable moment.

The more the public understands that using mail introduces disenfranchisement risk to them,
the better.

Mail vote should be the exception, not the rule.

So let's see.

We have an article written by a leftist rag in which it is said "postal workers Motherboard spoke to said having machines removed, replaced, or modified is nothing new."

But now, all of the sudden, this routine occurrence is EXTREMELY "worrisome".

So much so, that the OP hooks gullible posters into believing this "nothing-new" issue evinces "limiting democracy to suit your needs as president."

Register for absentee ballot like millions of elderly do.

They have been bitching about the risks of COVID and the ability to get out and vote for months, and we are still just under 3 months until the election. I have never registered for an absentee ballot before. But, I would imagine the people who are concerned with COVID, and actually want to vote, could have had plenty of time to register for absentee voting by now.

This is the best part.

A lefty rag is taking what could be routine maintenance and using it to sow doubt, but blaming Trump for what the rag is doing.

Undermining the postal service to undermine voting in the election is not “fighting back.” It is banana republic bullshite. And of course since yesterday Trump said out loud that this is what he is doing, he’s an unAmerican piece of shite.

Democrats have shut down our economy. Money is not pouring in hand over fist. They should not be working overtime. We should not be spending money on Frivolous shite like this.

If people can muster enough bravery to loot TVs during this "pandemic", they can make it to the local polling precinct.
