Can anyone read with any measure of comprehension?

It’s the NYT and it doesn’t say 75% of Americans WILL vote by mail (as if they could know), it says 75% of Americans CAN vote by mail.

BTW there is something called absentee ballots and early voting which has been around forever. I also believe anyone can request a ballot to vote by mail and that is nothing new either.

And yet the same pearl clutchers immediately drop to their knees and wail...”it’s all over..Trump loses..WAHHHH!!”

It’s vastly different for someone to request an absentee ballot, and someone to send in Aunt Tilly’s ballot that came to your house even though she died last December.

This misleading article is conflating absentee ballots with ‘rats wish-list fraud mail-a-ballot effort-you have to prove your identity and request a ballot to vote absentee-that has been around forever, as you said-the fraud bomb voting is what is being fought in the courts...

With so many so easily frightened by every bogus statement or article, I keep wondering why there is apparently no shortage of pearls yet...

I believe the NYT publishes lies and more lies to make Republicans go bonkers.

“it doesn’t say 75% of Americans WILL vote by mail (as if they could know), it says 75% of Americans CAN vote by mail.”

But it translates to is 10% of Americans can cast 75% of the votes. Presidential elections normally only 50-55% of eligible voters even vote.

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.
