I thought that was standard practice. If you request a mail in ballot, you can’t vote at a polling place. You’ve made your choice.
But the key is that you request a mail in ballot. At that point you have made your choice.
Ok so they mail me an unsolicited ballot. I do not receive it. Therefore when I go to my polling place I can not vote. What a disaster.
So the keyword is ‘requested.’
In the past, mail-in ballots were only sent out if they had been requested by the voter. This year, I’m assuming millions of mail-in ballots were sent out even though they were not requested by the voter. BUT were they recorded as requested, more or less automatically... I guess it all depends on the honesty of your respective Secy of State. In California, that’d be Alex Padilla, democrap activist: Zero on a scale of 1 to 10 for honesty.
