    How so? People have gotten sick when they never left their homes.

    Why have we not always had mail from home? I mean what do you want people to get sick? Why are you going around anyone period are you trying to kill people?

    Been to any protests lately hmm?

    Everyone needs to know how the laws in their own state work. I am keeping it simple and voting in person.

    So these were ABSENTEE ballots. Those that Trump and cohorts beleive to be perfectly safe and acceptable. I'm pretty sure Trump didn't go to the polls to doublevote/check his vote
    Clearly, before election day, each state has got to get theit sh..T together. The described situation by Fox here is not from vote in mailing, but from requested absentee ballots ("totally safe' according to Trump).

    States have to make it clear that double voting is a felony. And states need to put the means for enough checkers, poll workers, and polling stations to have a safe and fair election. But no, they always chose to put all of this in the hands of octogenarian volunteers.

    As an absentee voter living abroad, I hav once not received my ballot, once received 5 days after the elections. ALL states need to get their **** together.

    I'm trying to make sense of your rant, but I am struggling with it to be honest.

    No, protesting and boycotting is stupid.

    Again, how does anything you said disprove the fact that your man Trump and your GOP party want to deny millions of Americans from voting by mail?

    Not if the mail has the virus on it. I have as much guarantee voting in person under proper CDC guidelines as I do by mail.

    Fantastic. Go vote in person. Again, nobody is denying you from doing so. But sadly for you, numerous States including swing States are allowing their citizens to vote by mail. And there is nothing you, the GOP and Trump can do about it, no matter how bad you want to deny them from doing so.

    What about those states where you cannot vote in person and have to do so by mail? And PLEASE don't confirm your vote is not received it might be one less for Biden in your state if it doesn't.

    Mail-Vote Madness in Pennsylvania

    Pennsylvania has already suffered one interminable mail-vote delay in 2020, and a repeat in November could draw the entire country into a legal brawl, while putting the result of the presidential election into serious doubt. How about heading off this too-predictable debacle before it happens?

    A week after the June 2 primary, about half the counties in the Keystone State were still tallying ballots. On June 11, Philadelphia alone had 42,255 votes uncounted. President Trump won Pennsylvania in 2016 by 44,292....

    If Mr. Trump and Joe Biden run neck and neck in November, how long might Pennsylvania keep the Electoral College hanging? In the campaign’s closing weeks, arriving mail votes will pile up in local offices, but state law says they can’t be processed until 7 a.m. on Election Day. This wasn’t enough preparation to give timely results when 1.5 million residents voted absentee in June, and it won’t be in November....

    ....But on present trend, in a close presidential race, we are headed toward a vote-counting mess in which both sides claim victory. Don’t rule out furious supporters of the candidates battling in the street. If you think this isn’t possible in America, you haven’t been paying attention to this year’s “summer of love.”
    https://www.wsj.com/articles/mail-vote-madness-in-pennsylvania-11599865002?mod=opinion_lead_pos1

    We even had one district in New York have to totally throw out their election because of mail in voting and ballots arriving late and being unable to be confirmed.

    So PLEASE if you are voting for Biden DO NOT follow up on your vote as you have pledged you will not do. :rock_slayer:

    Because we vote in person for the most part.. If you want to have an absentee ballot go speak to your town clerk. Simple stuff.. then you can cower at home on election night.

    And their evidence is what? Two people with similar names? How many Elijah Washingtons are there in Georgia? We've been down this road before and it turned out to be a dud.

    Let's see the results of the investigation, republicans like to blurt out a lot of lies. I need evidence.

    Everyone has access to absentee ballots.
    No one wants to change this.
    How is this difficult for you to comprehend?

    Numerous States now have access to vote by mail too. Too bad for you and Trump that people in those States won't be denied access to vote.

    All states have had access to vote by mail for decades.
