    What if you check the day after the election and they don't have your ballot? You have not cast a provisional so what are you going to do now?

    Trump is not "my boy" and I don't believe mail-in voting should be supported or no based on allegations it will help or hurt a candidate. Why do you base your opinion on such things? I don't find that to be very patriotic.

    BTW I have voted twice in person the last few months and I'm not dead as many on the left claim it to be a life or death situation.

    Of course I know the question is do you and if you check on the last day of the election and your mail in has not been received will you go to the polling place and cast one?

    Of course it does, if you mail in hasn't been received then go cast a provisional one.

    That is true

    "“If you mail in a ballot a week before the election and it’s not showing up, or you’re not able to determine whether or not it’s been accepted, you can vote in person,” Patrick Gannon, a spokesman for the North Carolina Board of Elections, said on a press call Thursday. “If your ballot subsequently arrives at the county board of elections, that vote will not be counted.”"
    https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-says-vote-early-and-often-11599174742?mod=opinion_lead_pos1

    Try again............

    And again if you vote by mail are you saying you are not going to follow up to make sure it made to the elections officials to be counted. You will just assume on blind faith it did? REALLY?

    A global pandemic, where en-masse protests, and the riots that spawn from them, do not contribute to the spread of the virus.

    If we can go to the grocery store, there's no reason we cannot vote in person.

    So because you, 1 person out of a Country of 300+ million voted in person and didn't get sick is good enough to ignore the global pandemic happening and have thousands of people wait in long lines?

    Nobody is denying anyone from voting in person. The only ones that want to deny anyone from voting are Trump and his GOP cucks in Congress.

    I ask you first

    There are already and more states want to go to ONLY mail in voting and Trump nor any in the GOP wants to deny any one a legal vote, they don't want the illegal ones unlike the Democrats.

    Ah. Democrats do not want to deny the right to vote to illegals.
    Good of you to admit it.

    Again, nobody is denying anyone the ability to vote except Trump and his GOP cucks. If you live in a State that is mail in only, YOU have the decision to either vote or not.

    I also call BS to that as well, show me a State that is mail in only.

    I won't check because I am not petrified of my vote being lost.

    Your turn, because you, 1 person out of 300 million plus that live in the USA went voting in person and didn't get sick you want to restrict those who don't want to vote in person from voting by mail?

    I think you engage in follow and do not take your vote very serious. As I cited the North Carolina election official urging people, as did Trump, to check to insure your ballot is received.

    The premise of your question is fallacious, millions of people have voted in person this year and there is no evidence it increased cases of COVID.

    The issue was forced to vote by mail and you said no one is forced to vote by mail, if you want to vote in some states yes you are.

    I call BS on you do you EVER do your own research and try to keep yourself informed?

    You said:

    This, necessarily, means Democrats, by your admitted inaction, are not denying illegals the ability to vote.
    No one wonders why.

    Everyone has access to absentee ballots.
    No one wants to change this.
    You need to find another straw man to beat upon.

    What makes you more likely to get sick at a poll then at a grocery store or a DMV?

    Millions of people also voted by mail. Nobody got sick voting by mail and millions of votes didn't get lost.

    If you live in a State that requires vote by mail either you vote or you don't. Nobody is forcing you to vote, nobody is forcing you to not vote.

    Less people.

    What is a guaranteed way not to get sick? Voting by mail.

    How is this difficult for Trump supporters to comprehend?

    OK if you live in a state that doesn't have mail in voting you vote or you don't nobody is forcing you to vote, no one is forcing you not to vote whatever you are rambling about now

    You said
    I did so are you retracting the BS claim?

    You can get sick from your mail, the virus can be transferred, no claims of anyone getting sick from in person voting and it doesn't take millions of votes getting lost to change an election and without you check to insure it did reach the polling place you will never know if yours was counted.

    Those 5 States have been voting by mail for years. So you are correct, those 5 States are vote by mail. But it doesn't help your argument in any way.

    Then vote in person! Again, nobody is preventing you from doing so. But you and your party want to deny others from voting by mail because they don't share the same opinion with you regarding this pandemic.

    Unfortunately for the GOP and Trump, numerous States, including mine, are allowing people to vote by mail if they don't feel comfortable going to their polling location.

    It’s worth noting that double votes under the same voter registration are not counted twice. I’ve had a situation where I didn’t receive my mail in ballot before, when I contacted my polling place they told me to come in and cast my vote in person, and they assured me that if my mail in ballot had been cast by anyone, their counting system would immediately recognize a second vote under the same registration, which would automatically void the first vote

    As for people who do double vote, usually it has to do with their ballot being sent late, and then them worrying that their vote won’t be counted, so they decide to go in person
