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.
