    But everyone else is willing to commit crimes against people they don't know.

    WOULD YOU COMMIT A CRIMINAL ACT AND RISK PRISON TO HELP TRUMP GET ELECTED?

    I wouldn't commit a crime period. I especially wouldn't commit a crime with upper case fonts.

    Upper case was because you avoided answering the question about 4 times.

    Glad to hear you wouldn’t knowingly or intentionally commit a crime.

    Do you think postal workers are different? Do you have evidence of significant tampering With mail for ANY reason?

    Face it - this “concern” is just a way to suppress the vote. Make it harder or more dangerous for people to vote.

    Vote by mail occurs in a lot of places with no problems.

    I have avoided nothing. People commit crimes. people take risks . You have claimed this will not happen when it involves politics with nothing to back that up. The onus is on you, not me.

    You’re the one saying that voting by mail Risk’s fraud. The onus is on you, not me.

    What is on me? Are you saying no one would tamper with the ballots because there are politicians involved? Your argument thus far is "mail in voting is safe just because"

    My argument is that mail-in voting has been successful in a lot of places without any issues. That is evidence that it can work. Without fraud.

    Your argument is "mail in voting is not safe just because".

    Actually no. My main argument is more logistics based.

    “You can do that,” said Dr. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. “If you go and wear a mask, if you observe the physical distancing and don’t have a crowded situation, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to do that.”

    I know we have people frothing at the mouth but this means everyone has to follow the rules for this to apply. Knuckle draggers will have to learn somethings prior to elections for this to apply.

    Ha. Me, a knuckle dragger? Hardly bro, you're the one that wants to live in a cave for the next few years.

    Two years in a cave waiting on a vaccine. That isn't enlightened, it's antediluvian.

    First of all you have the slightest clue what I want. So crawl back to your cave. If you can't follow the rules you're a knuckle dragger get use to the condonation you're going to hear it a lot in your life time.

    I don't care what you want, I'm just tired of ignorance so keep it away from me and mine.

    Back in your cave masker.

    As long as each mailed ballot has a certified copy of a photo ID or a verified signature on it and from the application for it, that’s fine. Otherwise forget about it.

    That’s your arbitrary requirement. States have not required that in the past so why now?


    Answer: just another way for Trump supporters to try to make it harder to vote, thereby suppressing the vote.

    Why would someone admit that in an open forum?

    of course they have for absentee ballots.

    if you want your state to move towards sowetjing like Washington State go for it but i’d listen to advice or the Sec of State there that highlights it’s not something to rush through they’ve been. doing it for 10 years.

    Guess Dr. Strangelove, er, Fauci, won't be getting a Christmas card from the DNC this year.

    Can you imagine the ruckus if the polling stations make it mandatory to wear masks? People who refuse will not be able to vote - and will, of course, say their rights are being violated.

    I open an app, check what I want, pay by double clicking the power button which verifies my identity and then have my groceries delivered. All from my home.

    Until the two are similar you have no point. As usual your opinion is noted and dismssed.

    Is it safer to visit a polling place or a hospital?

    Yes, but Fauci, like most of our "officials" is a very adept Double-Thinker.
