After five months of tweets and soundbites from President Trump warning that voting by mail will lead to a “rigged election” and “massive voter fraud,” a clear partisan divide is forming among those participating in that process.

Election officials in key general election battleground states are noticing a surge of requests for absentee ballots by Democrats – upending a trend of Republicans in some crucial states typically dominating voting by absentee ballot through the mail.

In North Carolina, which last Friday became the first state to start sending out general election ballots to registered voters who requested them, more than three times as many Democrats than Republicans have sought ballots so far.

The issue with mail-in ballots is not so much an issue with absentee ballots.

Eight weeks of this type of “reports”. Ugh.

Is it not an obvious question? How do they know the party affiliation of someone requesting a mail in ballot?

Of course they are. And many of them are probably non-existant democrats formed by democrat activist’s getting paid by people like Soros to commit massive voter fraud in the election.

They are planning to use this mail in voting to steal an election... And if that does not work then they plan to start a civil war.

Don’t everyone be so smug this might be a good thing it might be appeared thing lots of people don’t get to the polls on election day but we have sent out the message that mail in voting is not reliable that might be good and it might be bad.

If you request an absentee ballot, will you be barred from the polling place if you show up on Election Day?

Most Democrats will vote by mail. Which is why the election results won't be known for a week or two.

Absentee ballots are not the problem, its the spamming of ballots to every voter.

Frankly, this is a version of self-suppression as a large percentage of the absentee ballots are rejected. Stupid.

I imagine it will depend on the state but voting twice is a felony, both at the state and federal level.

“Don’t everyone be so smug this might be a good thing it might be appeared thing lots of people don’t get to the polls on election day but we have sent out the message that mail in voting is not reliable that might be good and it might be bad.”

It is now inevitable that this election is going to end up in the courts, no matter who wins.

The mailboxes that were removed will be installed in cemeteries.

Many democrats believe it is their duty to try whatever they can, to vote twice.
This is real bad.

Just setting the stage for why they won’t call the election on election night.

Apparently, not in Florida, as I just applied for an absentee ballot, and on the page, it stated that even though I had applied absentee, I could still vote at the polls

They do in primary elections. I don't know about states other than my own in the November election, where they don't.
