Thanks, what a sack of vomit he is. He is a walking emetic.
From what Trump has been saying, I think something will happen (EO? National Security edict? Special powers due to Nat’l Emergency used? USPS saying “Nope ain’t happening, not secure”?) to stop mail in voting. My state is all mail in and as corrupt as hell.
Carlos Osweda has a theory that Trump WANTS mail-in voting. I don’t like the idea myself, but he makes some good points. There certainly are some advantages to have all ballots countrywide funnel through one place if it’s secure. An additional advantage is that fraudulent mail in ballots are a felony because the post office is involved. Much harsher penalties than you might encounter in a state or city. The enforcement authority is also under Trump folks control.
Note: I’ve been hopelessly behind and had to skip some threads to catch up so I apologize if this has been discussed.
Anyway, I still lean nah, but a case could be made. If it’s what Trump wants he’s playing this masterfully.

Mitt Romney counters Trump: 90 percent of ‘very Republican’ Utah votes by mail
******************
Voting by mail and absentee voting are totally different animals. A lot of people vote absentee by applying for an absentee ballot and voting by mail.
Mitt Romney definitely knows the difference, but is just playing his DS appointed role.
Sending ballots to everyone on the rolls, dead, moved, never voted, and “can’t be found” is sending out ballots to be harvested from doorsteps, vacant homes, and any address assigned by Dem vote registration drives, when registering a homeless person.
There have been reports of ballots laying piled up at apartment mailboxes, because no one knows the person on the envelop.
Mail in ballots is akin to taking an internet poll with people voting multiple times.
