Some worried Democrats have 2nd thoughts on voting by mail
Associated Press ^ | October 8, 2020 | Nicholas Riccardi

Ann Mintz and Clifford Wagner have been struggling with indecision about the election for weeks. Their angst isn’t over whom to vote for — the Philadelphia couple are Democrats who support Joe Biden. It’s about how, precisely, they should cast their ballots.

They voted by mail without hesitation in the state’s June primary. But now there are new stresses. Will a slowdown at the U.S. Postal Service make ballots arrive too late? Will technical mishaps filling out ballots lead to the vote not getting counted? Or, in one even more complicated but possible scenario, would their mail votes be tallied later than in-person ballots, and will the in-person ballots be largely Republican, and will that allow Trump to prematurely declare victory on election night?

“The stakes are so high. We’re putting a lot of thought into it,” the 65-year-old Wagner said.

Many voters who decided early in the coronavirus pandemic to cast their votes by mail have been rethinking their options as Election Day approaches. Nervousness about whether and when their ballots will be counted is leading some voters to increasingly strategize and analyze a decision that was once a no-brainer.

Write your Biden vote on a Post It and throw it into a nearby shrub.

It’s the ONLY guaranteed way to have it counted.

What did they expect!......their kind always overplays their hands. The Dems have been flooding everywhere with their propaganda pitch on mail-in voting.And when you push the population like that they're eventually going to question...”What's going on!”

What is so difficult about filling out a ballot and bringing it to the post office yourself? These Leftists are just trying to cause confusion.

More than 1 million people could lose their vote on Nov. 3. That’s the best-case scenario

Someone needs to remind them that the chances of catching the WuFluCoup are 100%, regardless if they go to the post office or their polling place.

It’s certain death, either way.

Just stay home.

Isn’t the percentage of Dems doing VBM far higher than Republicans?

If so, I’m not seeing the downside.

Just mail in vote and then also vote in person. You get two votes then.

Leave it to the Dems to make the simple act of voting an existential crisis.

Voting twice in one election is a felony in my state.

Just how are they gong to catch anyone voting twice? You mail it in on Saturday then vote on the following Tuesday. Nobody is going to get caught doing that. LOL. The Democrat vote counters are in such a rush to count votes by mail that nobody will cross check ANYTHING. If you do get caught, which you won't, just say you forgot that you voted by mail, pull a Comey.

Oh yes!.....

However this may well be a scare tactic the Dems are putting out there to wake up their sleepers.....because they need a force to vote who just might not at this point.

Kamala didn’t help.......Pelosi tody didn’t either by her threats.
