Yup. It’s probably a big fat nothing burger. More and more states have leaning more and more into mail voting, polling places are a pain, big long lines, all that junk. Most AZ voters are by mail, and have been a long time. I’m not sure why suddenly conservatives have decided it’s of the devil.

I don't understand it will be even possible for the Trump campaign to overcome this....can someone help by explaining?

There are two different ways to vote by mail: "absentee ballots" and "mail-in ballots".

The difference is the amount of safe-guards in them. Trump's concern is if its just the "mail-in ballots" system that has fewer safe-guards.

The only way you will get reform is if the Republicans are better cheaters.

Well, that is not really the only way.

Our mail in voting in the Ohio primary did not sit well with me. There was a HUGE tax increase on the ballot for the school. This tax increase has been voted down election after election. Guess what passed with the mail in voting? Yep.

If we allow them to run this scam on us as they ran the virus scam and steal the election. We deserve everything they do to us.

It’s not cheating if those are the rules to play by it’s just playing. May the best player win.

I'd be glad to explain. Don't be fooled by fake headlines, and leftist tactics intended to confuse people.

Here is what the article says:

In nine states, along with Washington D.C., registered voters will be mailed a ballot before the election. Voters in 33 states will be allowed to cast an absentee ballot with no excuse needed. In eight states, voters will be mailed an application to request an absentee ballot. In 25 states, voters are required to obtain an application for an absentee ballot themselves. In another eight states, voters will be required to have an excuse, other than coronavirus, to vote absentee.

Note that only 9 states have "vote by mail" as the term is normally used. The rest of the states allow absentee ballots which are a long standing part of the American election process. Leftists are mixing up the use of the terms to confuse the public.

The states that are sending out ballots to everybody on the voter registration lists are Washington, Oregon, Montana, California, Nevada, Utah and Colorado. Some of those states have been using mail in elections for years. Several of those states are likely to go to Democrats no matter what, so what kind of voting they have isn't that important.

For many other states the situation is the same as it always has been - voters can get an absentee ballot upon request. In some states, like Texas, they need a reason other than Covid-19 fears.

So don't be fooled by liberal media propaganda. There is more than usual this year.

Here is a map from the Washington Post which they used to generate the misleading headline. It shows exactly which states have each different policy.

Blessings to you. That was amazing.

What bothered me the most was that this article was in Breitbart and it didn’t have anything like your excellent explanation. It all makes sense now. Thank you so much.

Send in FEC officers and federal marshalls into every state. Oversee a counting and handling of ballots. Demand they be numbered for accounting purposes. Arrest governors who don’t comply. Or void their votes in the Electoral College.

Just some ideas.

There’s been no clear message that there would ever be consequences for election tampering, illegal spying on campaigns, cheating and voter fraud. We’ve known about Obamagate for 3 years now. Those at the top should have been charged and tried and made an example for those in 2020 that may try to cheat. The message is clear. Vote as often as possible on election day or thru the mail because it’s very unlikely anything will happen to you for cheating.

Too late to set an example now... voting’s about to start soon.

Does this include absentee voting? That is not a problem.
