It’s definitely partisan. In my state, for whatever reason, the Republican Party has decided its interests are best served by making it as hard as possible for people to vote. They fought extremely hard to keep a key judicial election on the calendar today, suppressing all reasonable alternatives including extended times for absentee (mail) ballots, despite uncontested evidence that over 10,000 voters who requested a mail ballot prior to the deadline would not receive their ballots in time to send them in. In my city, where we normally have over 100 polling places, only 7 were open today due to a dearth of volunteers and other factors. Accordingly, 10s of thousands of us ventured out despite a stay at home order to gather at these 7 polling places, swap germs, and vote. In my state, any effort to make voting easier is branded a means of voter fraud and will never happen so long as that party has control of the state legislature.The General said:
That all sounds terrible.
I was watching today. The woman nailed him with this. He also mumbled something about he’s too busy to vote so this is a good option for him. Smh
I haven't seen any good reason not to. Trump seems to be very worried about winning if it's allowed though.
One person opening letters in a protected environment, vs. a gajillion people standing together coughing on the poll workers. If I was a poll worker, I'd probably choose opening mail than dealing with the unwashed masses.
I can understand that but mail-in voting would people an alternative for situations like if you don't drive and they move your polling place a mile away from any bus stop. Or if they're prone to using only a few voting machines when more are available so the line to vote stretches for blocks.
Yes I agree. That's why I said "otherwise I'm in favor"
Seems strange he is against it since according to him, his popularly is really around 80% if not for the fake news.
Assuming normal voting procedures, this November is going to set a record for turnout anyway. But I support mail voting as a general principle (along with a host of other voting/election reforms).
Such a nasty question...using his own words to get him to clarify or make him look hypocritical...
All states are different. Once I vote, I can go to a web page and verify. What is your verification today? Curious.
Doesn't work out well for Republicans when more actual people vote...that pretty much sums up this country and the corruption and rot that has taken over.
Yes...whatever reason allowing people to actually exercise their right to vote doesn't work well for those trying to suppress it...this statement is again all you need to know about the GOP stance on this.
So here’s what the Dems should do. This is a key topic they bring up over and over again.
I agree...two big things democrats should push out of this...where I see no downside or way to even argue against it is mail in voting and bettering mental health care. The latter being very important coming out of this type of situation.
None really. Staying with the mail example - I hand a person my cash, at least I know that I gave it to a real person. Whether or not someone stole it between the guy I handed it to and the ultimate intended party . . . it could happen.
How it works in Colorado. First you get a card saying you are registered to vote in the upcoming election and to expect your ballot in the next few days. Then you get your ballot. Then after you vote you get a text or email saying they got your ballot. I'm pretty sure they also include a link to a website where you check as well.
Yeah, I get the example....and I agree. If I think about it, even going in person didn't ever get me the validation that my vote was counted. I'd go punch everything in the computer....no idea if it actually made it to the central database to be counted. FWIW, I don't send cash in the mail either
