Erecting Barriers to Voting is Anti-Democratic

You and I both know Gore won that.

No, he didn't fuckface. Bush won fair and square. He also beat Lurch in 2004.

 

[Delldude]

It takes a month to count them because whiney republican losers demand recount after recount.

Lol.... do some research, your full of shit.

States that have had vote-by-mail for years, supported by politicians of both parties, have affirmed their safety and security, but some will kowtow to Putin who interfered in U.S. elections.

There is no evidence he was able to do so by faking mail-in ballots.

Who said there was ?
Seems you like Conspiracy ideas that suit your cherished beliefs

Bottom Line: Vote-by-Mail is safe and secure, and most Americans support it.

There are anti-democratic conspirators spreading lies about vote-by-mail to impede the ability of the elderly, the handicapped, and the poor to vote.

A database maintained by the conservative Heritage Foundation that tracks election fraud cases includes 217 total criminal convictions for election-related fraud between 2020 and 2025. Those figures include all types of violations, not just those related to mail-in ballots.​

Despite little hard evidence that rampant voter fraud exists in any form of voting, the idea of “election integrity” has remained the biggest selling point for Trump as he has pushed for sweeping legal reforms and continues to baselessly claim fraud is what cost him the 2020 presidential election.​

Most Americans support the right to vote by mail:

A majority of Americans support mail-in voting, according to a new poll...​

In the latest Pew Research Center survey, 58% of respondents said they favor “allowing any voter to vote by mail if they want to.”​

Apparently, there are actually stupid/paranoid people who believe that secretly organizing and coordinating significant numbers of bogus voters, faking registrations and I.D.s for all of them, is not a ludicrous way to attempt to pervert a democratic election. That sounds more like the irrational dogma of a cult that reason.

(Those folks who cant' handle the empirical data will mindlessly dismiss the years-long study by the Heritage Foundation and Pew survey as "Fake News!, of course)

absentee ballots have been around for decades and serve a proper purpose. mass mail in voting only promotes fraud and fraudsters. said another way, mail in voting promotes cheating democrats.

lie, most Americans support absentee ballots for those physically unable to get to the polls or those citizens who are out of the country. mass mail in voting is only supported by those who can only win by cheating.

Your dogma lacks empirical data to prop it up.

Vote-by-Mail has been proven to be safe and secure.

We have had mail in ballots here in Nevada since 2020. I've used it ever since and there is nothing insecure about it.

And you know this, how?

More than half of Americans supported allowing no-excuse mail-in voting.

 

[schmidlap]

And you know this, how?

The Trump cult cannot concoct actual evidence of election fraud in any state that chooses to conduct its elections by mail.

I am making an inquiry regarding the thread's topic.

How do you know that fraud under vote-by-mail has ever affected any state's elections anywhere? Please document any such instance.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Funny, word on the street is my state Dem party is gerymandering cemeteries......

Just because you are dead does not mean you can't be useful.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Make election day great again.....In person early voting should be greatly curtailed also.

In Virginia the dems made it 45 days when they held sway...45 DAYS!...There's no damn sense in that.

Whats the issue?

 

[1srelluc]

Whats the issue?

The cost of keeping a polling place open for 45 days ....It's a heck of a financial burden for the less rich counties.

Vote-by-mail is anti democratic because it nullifies the votes of legal voters

Why doesn't the state pay for it?

You know how dems hate paying for anything. I think that the dem scum holding sway at the time enjoyed shifting the financial burden to red counties.....Which the vast majority of Virginia counties are.

I didn't make that claim. I was asking for verification from someone who made the opposite claim, that it was secure. You're attacking a strawman.

Millions of legal voters - Republicans, Democrats, Independents - mail in their ballots in both Republican and Democratically-run states.

No serious cases of fraud have been detected anywhere.

Your desire to deny the vote to U.S. military serving overseas is unfortunate.
