Mail-in voting is the excuse used by the Republicans whenever they lose an election. That was recently followed by a last-ditch effort to cheat themselves to undo what was done on election day (e.g.: the Stop the Steal rally and January 6 riot).

Driving is a privilege not a right. Voting is only measurable method of the average person having a smidgeon of a say.
And I agree, it would be ideal if people did know more about issues and the people they vote for other than having a D or R next to their name. I'd love to change that by emphasizing public civic education in this country. But that's beside the point. The point is access to voting and the ability to exercise it. I do not believe in restricting that to an unnecessary degree.
If we want more informed voters, that's a different topic. But to use that as a way of saying we should ban the practice of mail in ballots isn't an acceptable reason. If you can show any evidence that says it's less safe or reliable, do so. Otherwise, it's more fearmongering by the usual suspects on the far right.
Not for long, remember? He'll be in jail soon.
And we spell it "presidential" around these parts.
there's nothing harmful or corrupt about a gun. But the guy using a loaded one aimed at your head and squeezing the trigger while robbing you is a different story. If you're going to protest the abuses of gun possession, own up to the abuses of mail-in voting.
If you want to control the abuse of gun possession by controlling guns, it only makes sense to control the abuse of mail-in voting by controlling mail-in voting.
I go along with reasonable control of guns, but I don't suggest doing away with them because there is no alternative to having a gun for legitimate purposes. There is an alternative to mailing in your vote.
Don't play that game. Almost everyone has "access to voting and the ability to exercise it." The question is how those individuals rank it amongst their individual lists of "To Do's". If it is important to a person, they make the time and show up. It worked that way for decades and decades. Heck, people used to travel for days to vote because it was that important to them. Showing up for in person voting is considered a burden yet people will wait for days to score the next release of the latest and greatest iPhone or concert tickets. Now, people complain if voting is more time consuming than filing out a piece of mail that they didn't even request. If you think that doesn't have the potential for abuse, I don't know what to say.
Weird. Why did you think I was talking about you? lol. Seems someone is insecure.
Anyway, I knew the answer before I even poasted the choices.
Congratulations connecticut!

Legal recreational marijuana sales start in Connecticut
Connecticut's first round of recreational cannabis sales for adults 21 and older kicked off Tuesday at seven existing medical marijuana establishments across the state, less than two years after Gov. Ned Lamont signed legislation making Connecticut the latest state to legalize retail sales. "We...
There's no legit chain of custody with mail in ballots and time and time again, they have been shown to enable fraud. Things like thousands mailed to an address that isn't even a home and all sorts of other shenanigans.
Same with electronic voting machines, which is why Europe doesn't use them.
One of the main reasons Florida was such a massive blow-out is that the state enacted measures to prevent election fraud.
Of course, DeSantis has done a great job and is very popular but winning by 20 points? Some of that likely has to do with stopping election fraud.

Please refer to post #45,482 above regarding Republicans using mail-in voting as an excuse whenever they lose.
I'm not saying people are being oppressed. I'm saying that to ban mail in voting because it could 'potentially' be abused makes no sense, especially when no one has given any demonstrable evidence that it has been abused. It's a solution in search a problem.
And on the voting aspect of things, if we want a more engaged citizenry, we have to act like it. Maybe make Election Day a national holiday. Maybe instead of gutting public education, we invest more money into it, especially in rural and poor areas. We need to actually walk that walk. But until then, it's just pure anxiety to create a giant fuss around mail in voting.
Are you going to bullshit me and try and say you weren't? You've called me a wet behind the ears, kid more times than I can count. Lol.
This is a much better job spelling multi-syllable words. I see you trying. You're still a dumbass but keep working.
You apparently think of yourself the same way. Congratulations. It’s the first time you’ve been correct.
Lol you think you're actually good at twisting my words around? Lame. Don't flatter yourself.
Yes, it allowed soldiers to vote at the front. But don't tell that to the pearl clutchers who deliberately distort the discussion.
Look I get it. If I was you, I wouldn’t like myself either.
Hey man, it's okay. It sucks being a miserable, middle aged, prick in Middle America who can't handle anything that isn't Southern, conservative, or white.
You have my pity.
I've got no issues with soldiers overseas voting by mail just not everyone else. Case closed. Good discussion.
Well it's always cheating, unless you win. That's why your perspective on it doesn't matter.
I’ll admit that my guy has won by cheating before. In fact, I’d argue that every election that’s ever happened in this country at every level has had cheating occur. But yeah, I care less when my guy wins. That’s not much of a revelation.
Whatever dude. I’m not gonna get in a dick measuring contest with you.
Can still guarantee mine is bigger than yours.
I’m undefeated in dick measuring contests.
You haven’t lopped that thing off yet? Nail clippers will probably do. What are you waiting on?
Really? Because it really feels like you're overcompensating much of the time.
They have had mail in voting at least since the 1864 election. Somehow they managed to keep it in place for 160 years. It must not be that compromised.
I guess it's difficult, when your ideas and perspectives are obsolete and archaic, to accept that you're losing elections because your ideas are obsolete and archaic. So, it's just as likely that you would cry about being cheated no matter what voting process was allowed, if you kept losing elections.
You got your supreme Court justices, so I would say sit back and enjoy that while it lasts.
A teenage girl might think so. Or a 30 year old man that thinks he’s a teenage girl.
See, now you're just just losing it. Oh well, I guess that's what happens when you become a stale, 50 year old dinosaur.
No, you must not understand. Let me explain it. See I said that a teenage girl might think so. But then I said a 30 year old man that thinks he’s a teenage girl might as well. See because you’re the latter, not the former. Get it now?
I told you I was undefeated. Yet you chose to continue on.
It's easy to be undefeated when you've never been in one.
