3% is frighteningly high. That would be more than enough to potentially throw swing states in a direction other than the will of the people.

I understand for absentee voting and other limited circumstances, but to put the entire election in the hands of the US Postal Service? No thanks!

Worst case, just set the polling stations up in outdoor tents. Risk of COVID-19 transmission would be next to nothing. Start planning for it now and you’ll be fine by election day.

#% ffailure rate. Hmm. What are the odds that ever failure will go the same way?

My point is the dimrats tried to disqualify the overseas ballots then. If they collude with the USPS, there will be a whole lot of ballots “lost” that originate from republican leaning districts all across the country.

Been voting by mail for almost 20 years, it works.

Do you mean real voting by mail or voting by absentee ballot? Two completely different things.

Real vote by mail. AZ went voluntary vote by mail in 2000. First only on the generals, then the primaries. My random occurrence 9/11 was the last time I voted in person.

A common observation about Voter Fraud is that states have control over election procedures and there is little reform that is possible at the federal level.

But it seems to me that if the US Post Office becomes an integral part of the voting process, then maybe Donald Trump gets some say in how things will (or won’t) be done.

Good thinking. "Worst case, just set the polling stations up in outdoor tents. Risk of COVID-19 transmission would be next to nothing. Start planning for it now and you’ll be fine by election day."

1 in about 33. Imagine your car's brakes failing that often. Or, passenger jets crashing. Or, bridges collapsing. ...

AZ went voluntary vote by mail in 2000.

So you have to make a request. That's like an absentee ballot.

"Real vote by mail" is where the state blindly mails ballots to every registered voter. Big difference.

Not anymore. Part of the change over after 2001 was a permanent request. They send you a thing every few years to send back if you want to unrequest.

It is vote by mail for everybody that wants to. It’s not 100% vote by mail, but it is vote by mail.

I’m in Arizona. I was sent a card to mail back only if I wanted to vote by mail. I didn’t mail it back, as I always go to the polls personally.

Yeah. When we went to that system I said yes. So probably around the same times you get the opt in postcard, I get an opt out postcard, which I toss, cause I like getting it over with early in my living room. Especially when it’s time to vote against all the judges or there’s a lot of propositions. Also nice for those May bond elections which they hardly ever promote, I missed a few of those back in the day, now the ballot shows up in my mailbox allowing me to vote no on all the bonds.

3% represents 5 million votes.

Liberals can’t be reasoned with on this - it would keep them from a rich opportunity for cheating.

To repeat a Mad Magazine gag about the post office in the 1960s——

Also received was a previously lost letter:
To President Abraham Lincoln
“Abe, Forget going to see Our American Cousin at the theater. It’s a real turkey. Skip it.”

Yours is the best post on this topic ever , in my opinion.

Please repeat this when this subject comes up. Many do not know these tricks.

News on TV will push hard for “so paranoid and silly of the Far Right to make up vote conspiracies” “Yes, Wolf, you’re right.”

her last name has a hyphen in it..her mail was delivered yesterday, she got THREE voter registration letters..THREE..so what does that mean, she can vote three times?

A disturbing prospect.

I always thought hyphenated names starting with feminists in 1972 were to insult and debase men. Now I see they are a gold mine of extra votes.

They never intended to vote anyway, and never know that they did! A successful "cheat".

Similar to your income tax refund "already sent to you" (went to the criminal hacker) and your house title used for title theft fraud loans taken out while draining the equity and making you pay for the monthly payments without a house. You don't know until much later that it happened.

Illegal but when did that slow down the Dems?

Our side follows the laws. Usually has hurt us but someday it may help.

Children fighting for freedom in the Dark Age of America beginning January 21, 2021 will say “Those people suffering in the prison camps followed the law. We have someone to look up to.”
