Do you think the states like AZ, CA, NV, PA, etc. are going to change their systems?

It's not just four states. Most states allow mail-in ballots with no excuse required. CA, CO, HI, NV, OR, UT, VT and WA send them out automatically. Mail-in ballots are the norm, not the exception. Either we start utilizing them or we continue to lose.

Interesting that our problem child states are not automatic mail-in voting. That means that millions of people, mostly dems, are specifically requesting them. It could also be that the state OR NGOs send out invitations to request mail-in ballots. I wouldn't be surprised if it's targeted towards dem voters just like the ballot collection boxes were placed in dem areas. It's all election infrastructure. Likely NGOs like below are doing it;

Dems have a huge machine. We have the McLosers.

They won’t, of course. And as time goes on, more and more states will join them. It’s irreversible - anyone who tries to go back to the old way of voting will be accused of trying to suppress voters’ rights.

Will the courts intervene? Probably not in any meaningful way. And we know the GOP leadership will do nothing. They proved that back in 2020.

Tough times ahead. One of my conservative friends recently remarked that if this trend continues, most races will decided in the Democrat primaries. So might as well register as a Democrat, and then vote for the least crazy person on the primary ballot.
