No, he is not right.

We’re at war: Make them have to cheat so much it becomes comical, then ridicule them into oblivion.

Al Gore trying to overthrow the election....

Headline: Al Gore Contests 2000 Presidential Election Results
Jul 26, 2014 — ....unable to review the ballots in Broward and Volusia that were counted as legal votes during the manual recounts.


Al Gore Says ‘Every Vote Must Be Counted’ 20 Years After Infamous Florida Recount

Nov.28, 2000 CNN
Gore remarks on his challenge of the election results

My note: He met with Bush later to say he accepted what happened and to show the American people there should be no animosity between the two candidates.

Mar 16, 2000 — Gov George W Bush rebuffs calls from prominent Republicans to reach out.... The governor made no effort to mask his animosity toward Mr. Gore.

For most of my life people voted on one election day.

https://www.history.com/news/why-is-election-day-a-tuesday-in-november

Perhaps there should be a MLK Jr. Memorial Election Day federal holiday. America would get to honor his efforts and not his birthday. Right now, most people don’t get his current holiday off.

“King’s actual birthday is January 15 (which in 1929 fell on a Tuesday).”

Larry Hogan, South, speaks...

If the goal is “honest” elections, one 12-hour day to vote in person only with inked fingers as proof of voting...

No early...No mail in...No computer machines...

Otherwise, you are supporting our communist masters in perpetuity...

So, burst pipes and 3 AM vote dumps are off the table...

It seems those advantages went one way in 2020

If the other side is taking advantage of things that have been legalized in their own states, it’s foolish not to do the same.

I wish we didn’t have any of these extra days, but the left takes full advantage of them. If we can find a way to capitalize on it we increase our odds of winning drastically.

That's because we allowed it.

Give Youngkin credit here. The Democrats wanted to steal Virginia in '21 but Youngkin employed an army of volunteers to watch the polling places like hawks.

It worked.

He is right

No, he is not right.

The reason you vote on Election DAY, is that it keeps the Cheaters unbalanced. It causes unforced errors on their part because they don't know how many votes they need to create.

I’d trust Biden with a child before I trust any election in this banana republic.

Mail in and early voting is rife with fraud.
You *should* have to show and ID and be verified against registered voter rolls in order to cast a vote.
Who exactly has a problem with that?

Don't tell me that Poor, Disadvantaged or Minorities can't do it, they get everything else, somehow.
There can't be too many left who are left out, who wish to vote but don't feel they can.

They’ll just throw away the votes instead.

They’ve got this down to a science.

I voted early and by mail for Trump in Florida in 2020, a state he won by a greater margin than he did in 2016.

That's not proof of anything.

You are 1 vote out of how many millions of Republic Voters in FloriDuh??

On this, you are correct. On early-voting, you are wrong.

Where's the proof that my early vote was chucked in the trash?

Do you not think that the Democrats wouldn't have loved to steal Florida in 2020? Trump's home of record?

“What about people who work 12 hour shifts?

Critical Care? or Janitorial?
That’s argument is just silly - and you know it.

Before or after-
if you are local, take a break and vote.-
If you received a paycheck, by law in many states, they must give you time to go and cash that check. Why not to vote?-
Have your Non-Voter co-workers cover for an hour or so.
Have your H1-B Visa co-workers cover for you.
Union Labor Rules also give time for folks to go and vote.

so many options, besides (”but my case is an exception . . .”)
If it’s important, there are always ways to fix things.
It’s an hour, one day, for many it’s only every four years.

Nothing in there about election season or anything other than "day".

And early voting complies with this by not counting the early votes until Election Day.

Remember for every mail in ballot a democrat gets 3 votes. Republicans get -3 votes.
