The reason the Governors of Conservative States like Florida and Texas were playing the Mask Game was to also ensure their courts would rule AGAINST mandatory mail-in voting.

They were the initial test case to measure public sentiment before Trump “endorsed masks”.


Interesting theory from 3d3n. Makes sense to me.

Interesting. Because I have been unhappy with Gov Abbott over this decision. But if there is an end game then I can understand it more.

I can’t say that I understand it well but here are two guesses.

For Trump’s defensive strategy, if he doesn’t endorse mask requirements then the Deep Staters try to “prove” voting in person is too unsafe around unmasked people and mail in voting is a “required” option for those who don’t want to risk death (!!) as some Dem had said, just to vote. If masks are required, then it’s safe to vote in person.

For Deep Stater’s defensive strategy, and given Trump has said that illegals are not permitted to vote, they may not want to be locked in to mail-in voting only, because it’s potentially easier to allow illegals or Dems to vote in-person (e.g., multiple times with multiple ID’s).

I’m vaguest about the Deep State strategy, but I suspect mail-in ballots require more traceable ID than do in-person voters who are waved in by corrupt polling staff. Or allowing both mail-in votes (ballot theft) and in-person votes (illegals walking in without ID or with shoddy ID) gives them both avenues to steal. I have to say, if I understand the Twitter post correctly, the reasoning just doesn’t appeal to me.

Further down the linked thread someone suggests that Trump and patriot Governor(s) suddenly pivoting to accept masks does away with the demand for mail-in voting. As if to say, “Dems keep saying masks work - okay let’s wear masks and vote in person because it’s safe with everyone masked.”
