This is really just lazy reporting. People who complain about a "stolen election" are missing the whole story here. The Democrats in many of these races never bothered to campaign because in many states an election is no longer a political process where the candidate seeks to appeal to voters. Instead, it has become nothing more than an administrative process where the political party just figures out how to collect ballots.

Is this process open to widespread fraud? Absolutely. But the vast majority of these ballots are almost certainly "legitimate" in the sense that they were mailed out to the correct person and completed/returned correctly.

Anyone who wants to win an election in this environment has their work cut out for them. Stop bitching about the process and figure out how to take advantage of all the ways to make it work in your favor.

“Anyone who wants to win an election in this environment has their work cut out for them. Stop bitching about the process and figure out how to take advantage of all the ways to make it work in your favor.”

I’ve been saying this for years. If the democrats are doing something that’s working....why not do the same?

However, I don’t think it will work as well for us because conservatives have a lot of prejudices against people they perceive that are different then them.

I can see it now.

“I don’t want to register that person” they look like an:

alcoholic, drug user, minimum wage worker, skin color is different, religion is different, income is different, didn’t go to college, lives in a cruddy house, is a foreigner, etc.

I hope we can smarten up, but I have my doubts.

What is the difference in thought processes and deliberation between:

(a) the voter who received a mail-in ballot, completes it, and sends it back through U.S. postal mail or puts it in an official secured ballot drop box;

(b) the voter who received a mail-in ballot, completes it, and drops it off at a polling location;

(c) the voter who received a mail-in ballot, saves it, takes it to the polling places, asks that the ballot be spoiled/shredded, and votes in person
