    You mean you would vote by mail without being able to confirm your ballot even made it there.........................REALLY????

    NOW WAY I would do that you almost deserve not to have your ballot counted if that is how serious you take it.

    I don’t know if it’s counted when I vote in person either. It’s not like the box I put it in shows me the total change lol
    Does your location have a real time tally of the votes or something?

    Were those the only words he uttered, yes or no?

    "“Based on the massive number of Unsolicited & Solicited Ballots that will be sent to potential Voters for the upcoming 2020 Election, & in order for you to MAKE SURE YOUR VOTE COUNTS & IS COUNTED, SIGN & MAIL IN your Ballot as EARLY as possible,” Trump tweeted Thursday. “On Election Day, or Early Voting, go to your Polling Place to see whether or not your Mail In Vote has been Tabulated (Counted). If it has you will not be able to Vote & the Mail In System worked properly. If it has not been Counted, VOTE (which is a citizen’s right to do).”"
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...633260-ed73-11ea-ab4e-581edb849379_story.html

    What's your problem with that?

    Sure you do, you either hand it to the polling worker in person who runs it through the tabulation machine or as I do do it yourself and yes I get the confirmation from that machine which has been checked and rechecked with test ballots with representatives of both parties and any independents and the local election officials there to monitor it is accurately recording and then they are rechecked afterwards. You don't even know if your ballot made to a polling place is what you are saying and even if an envelope with your name on it arrives whether that is really your ballot inside. You lose control of your ballot the second you give it to a mail carrier, I never lose control of mine.

    I normally end up dropping it off. I guess this kind of paranoia is required to be a republican so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.
    What confirmation do you get? Do you see the vote totals for each person and measure change after you put it in?

    Each state has its own procedures. I doubt any of them do what Trump suggested.

    And now we see why Democrats have been pushing so hard for universal, unsolicited, mail-in voting.

    What would make you come to that ridiculous conclusion? Strange that you would claim that a crime that was unsuccessful would be "OK." Guess we are just going to have to disagree about that. Weird.

    So why are you so against mail in voting if it leads to Liberals ballots getting lost helping Trump win?

    Because it is illegal, it is literally the thing the OP is bitching about and you have indicated an issue with when you can contort it to be against your “team”, but when your “team” does it it’s not an issue.

    I guess hypocrisy is seen as a virtue by some.

    It's not illegal to check to make sure you mail in vote was received and if not then go to the polling place and cast a provisional vote. If the mail in vote is then received before the final acceptance day then depending on the state either the mail in will count of the provisional you cast will count and mail in discarded. I guess not being informed as to the laws and how it works is seen as a virtue to some. I even cited one of the NC election officials saying to do exactly that.

    This is correct
    Do you understand what a provisional ballot does?
    https://ballotpedia.org/State_by_State_Provisional_Ballot_Laws
    It bas nothing to do with “checking” your mail in vote is received and voting twice is a felony in most states.
    This is false
    It is a felony under NC law: https://www.dukechronicle.com/article/2020/09/trump-nc-ballots
    In what post did you quote an election official saying it was on to vote twice?
    Would you like me to post the statute because you seem to be unable to comprehend it.

    Yes. During a global pandemic, absolutely.

    Your turn. Why do you care about mail in voting so much if it means Liberals ballots getting lost, which would help your boy, Trump?
