    The goal is simple: to delegitimize vote-by-mail in states where they think it will hurt Trump, while legitimizing it in places where they think it will help him — such as Florida — to ensure that as many of his voters as possible utilize it if they would otherwise skip voting out of fear of the pandemic.

    Trump did not take the virus serious when it was dem states, when it was republican States he did

    he is doing the same with voting, dems States he wants people to go to the polls and get covid, republicans States he wants them to vote by mail

    Trump is a bad <or sick> guy!

    I think the goal is to delegitimize the elections.. everywhere... period. Because I don't think it's going to hurt Trump anywhere. Republicans are the ones who tend to embrace vote by mail. But it's not going to get him elected either. I kinda sense many Republicans are just not going to vote for him. And I think Trump senses the same. I'm fearing a much more macabre plan to altogether deligitimize the elections. To what end... who knows. It has been suggested that he might use the national guard, at some point, to "protect the vote". Which means, of course, keep people from voting. Even attempting something like that would be disastrous. I don't think he'd be able to do something like that but... who knows. He might try. The guy has no scruples, no feeling of patriotic duty and no interest in anything by himself, and of staying out of jail.

    That's just it. In Democratic cities contrary to law they never Purge the rolls of the dead those who have moved or of those supposedly living at addresses that are no longer functional. Now what do you think will happen with all those unused ballots?

    Not how it works absentee ballots per law must be requested by the voter and the ballot after being filled out must be notarized. What the Dems are trying to run on us is a bunch of ghost ballots not tied to anything or anyone.

    The hell there isn't, as I've shown repeatedly, absentee ballets are requested and must be notarized.
    What the Dems are doing is creating a huge excess of untraceable ballots that the unscroupulous can use any way they want.

    actually they'll be returned to sender like all undeliverable mail. And then it's up to the election board...

    If they're undeliverable. If they go to a former address, the current owner will likely toss them. But who knows. Maybe people mark them RTS and drop them off.

    Would you do that? I wouldn't, and no sane person is going to forge a ballot for an extra vote. They'll use only their own ballots.

    You'd be amazed at the crap people will do for shits and giggles these days especially if they're a little drunk or stoned at the time.

    The machine which produced those chads was designed by a Democrat and approved by DNC officials --- who utterly bungled the way they taught the poll workers on how to maintain the equipment. That entire fiasco was their own fault from start to finish.

    Nah. I don't shock easily. Been there, done that. Something nobody ever said was, "Hey, I got an extra ballot. Let's party!"

    Lol. Of course it's happened before. When people move or die doesn't have an effect on mail service. Some people die the day they receive the ballot. Others, the day they send in the request. And every day in between. Happens all the time. Can't really get around it.

    But their relatives are still on hand. And that would be a relative rarity this will be 1000s per city probably more. We are after all talking about an entirely unprecedented scale here.

    Thousands of what per city? I'm sure the people who move and die during the mailing process remains constant. The total number may go up, but the percentage of total ballots won't change.

    Can you provide links showing which “Democratic” cities never purge the rolls of the dead, those who have moved on or those supposedly living at addresses that are no longer functional?

    You do realize that's what they are talking about when they accuse Republicans of disenfranchising people, right?

    Absentee ballots are fairly constant. What the Democrats are doing is attempting to add 100's of thousand if not mollions of ballots to the mail in ballot pool.

    Dude if you're that far out of touch I'm not even going to bother trying to catch you up. It's been a hot topic for Dems here and elsewhere for about ten years now.
