Mail-In Voter Fraud Doesn't Exist, Huh?

[Mytwocents]

We know it exists, because of the massive absentee/ mail in vote FRAUD the Republicans executed in North Carolina last year and other smaller cases.

THIS is why the states need to prepare for it now... the 6 states or so, who ONLY HAVE MAIL IN VOTING, over time and living and learning, put in safety measures to prevent the massive fraud like the Republicans did in NC....

They eliminated ballot harvesting, for one, and put in mail boxes for ballots only, in neighborhoods....And lots of other measures were put in....

States need to look at these states, and figure out how to make absentee ballot voting safe...for their states.

If this spread of the virus continues to rise, citizens at risk, more than half of those of voting age when seniors and those with disabilities and medical risks combined together total over 80 million, need a safer way to vote....

Then those voting in person, won't have 8 hour waits in line to vote with the fewer polling stations...

Never understood the concern about the "virus" when there's people who actually encourage others to go out into the streets to cause "unrest". Why doesn't the "virus" come into play or even the discussion, when it comes to the BLM or Antifa vandalizing, rioting, killing and beating up people ? Why does this "virus" seem to only pertain to people wanting to enjoy a day at the lake or beach, at church on Sunday, or any other activity that's non-"protest"?
The Postal Service isn't a threat to democracy because democracy in the US was never designed to rely on the Postal Service. If you can protest in person you can vote in person.

Since the Civil War, the absentee ballot and the postal service has become important in our elections...!! Near every vote, was an absentee vote...!!

Who Encouraged the protests that you are speaking about...?

And protesters are not rioters that cause mayhem... criminals, embedding themselves in to BLM protesters are causing the fires and looting..... 99% of all the protesters in all the protests around the country, were peaceful protesters over the past few months... the criminals have stolen their spotlight and message from George Floyd's killing.

And yes, even though they were outside which is 20 TIMES less likely to spread the virus than in an enclosed room, and most all protesters were masked, and younger, I think it was a dangerous situation that could have spread the virus!

I don't know if you are aware that 90% of our local voting precincts have been closed for these recent primaries and for this upcoming elections, because of this pandemic....the older folks who are our poll workers in most local districts, are refusing to work the polls due to being at much higher risk of death. This, and the CDC' s guideline of 6ft of separation when indoors, has brought states to close polling spots and combine them in to mega voting centers.... halfway across town in larger cities, making it more difficult to reach and vote....

And this in the primary caused long long long long lines, and 6 HOUR WAITING TIMES in line to vote. This disenfranchised both republican and democratic voters, people walked away.

Plus, there are 70 million senior citizens and another 20 million adults with disabilities, 90 million adults of voting age, at HIGH RISK of death, if they catch this virus.

Voting in person, or waiting hours in some mega voting center's line is simply not an option...You and the President are trying to force our govt, to force these 90 million citizens if they want to vote, to either commit a forced suicide or vote.... And that's absurd, let alone evil....


We are the United States of America... for goodness sake!

We went to the moon, we split the gosh DARN atom, we can certainly handle an increase in mail in ballots to vote if our minds set out to do such!!! And do so safely, timely, and without massive fraud.

The president is such a Debbie Downer, a defeatist, and naysayer and clearly does not have an ounce of love or confidence in this nation he is suppose to be LEADING....

And he can kiss my grits!

Cuomo was the first metro center massively hit, he did do a pretty darn good job, just look at NY' s infection rate and death curves...his lock down worked.

ALL STATES are no different than Cuomo's, some even worse with nursing home deaths, months after the virus hit and the other governors could have learned from the mistakes the NY metro areas went thru....

Look at Florida, and Texas's nursing home deaths and Pennsylvania!!! Why are they killing so many old folks in nursing homes? Still? If they are not doing what Cuomo did, huh?

It means what Cuomo did, was NOT what spread covid in the nursing homes.... cause it has spread in all states, at the same or worse death rates.

Covid spread in nursing homes has come from the nursing home staff, bringing it in to nursing homes, not from the elderly released from hospitals back in to the Nursing homes, put in isolation wards, until completely heeled.

The president has not followed any of the solid, sound advice that he's been given by the experts in infectious disease.... if you think hydroxychloroquine crap is sound advice, then... I don't know what to say to you, other than your to consider that snake oil cure before controlled scientific trials etc, Proving it works....

There are 90 million seniors and people at high risk of dying from this disease...No, just them staying home while others run around and catch it who are not at risk will not work, because all those younger than 65 people interact with the 90 million at high risk.

The president has been the CIRCUS ring leader my dear.... all of our COVID woes, comes from him, not knowing how to lead, not knowing how to be a Leader, when this nation, needed him most.

You are still defending the "it's ok for protesters to gather...etc..." & the whole George Floyd narrative (have you seen that recent body cam footage? Talk about a game changer!) and spitting out this rhetoric. Be my guest! Mail your ballot in! You apparently cannot see or choose NOT to see the important issue is CHOICE.
I'm sorry to see that the fear has done a number on you, honey, but understand that we all don't want to live in a little bubble, like you. It's OK to go out and LIVE your LIFE. There are bacteria, viruses living amongst us all the time. Our bodies are built to fight these things. Did you know that? It's ok to get dirty, play outside, be exposed? That's how you build your immune system. Blaming everything that has happened on one MAN is an easy cop-out, but hey, no one has been through this before, so GO AHEAD AND VENT! ...and please, , maybe get outside and get some FRESH AIR? Some YOU TIME? ....Good luck

Yes, he has some concerns. But I am not sure it is entirely political. Yes, in this article, provided by NPR, they make it appear he is a clueless xenophobe.

Trump Opposes Postal Service Funding But Says He'd Sign Bill Including It

President Trump on Thursday evening reiterates his interest in denying the U.S. Postal Service funds, which he says would kneecap efforts to expand mail-in voting.

www.northcountrypublicradio.org

But, you will note, that is a local NPR spin on the issue, much like, maybe your town has?

There is much more nuance here than just the personalities or partisan politics.

There are so many issues that just can't be solved in time for the election, and throwing money at the issue just will not do it. It is an organizational, security and a man power issue.

It's like you do not even care about electoral integrity, who do you think you are conning?

Signed, Sealed, Undelivered: Thousands Of Mail-In Ballots Rejected For Tardiness

Republicans Signal They're Willing To Pay Up To Avoid An Election Day Disaster

Republicans Signal They're Willing To Pay Up To Avoid An Election Day Disaster

Senate Republicans say they are open to sending states more money to make it easier to administer an election amid the pandemic after initial fears that no more federal money would be spent.

www.npr.org

". . . Senate Rules Committee Chair Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., said on the Senate floor before lawmakers went on recess that he was "prepared to look at more money for the states to use for elections this year."

"We continue to work toward an election that produces a result that people have confidence in," Blunt said. "And done in a way that everybody that wants to vote, gets to vote."

On Friday he announced the committee will hold a hearing on July 22 about preparing for the general election.

In addition to more money, Democrats had wanted broader policy changes, including mandated weeks of early voting and universal access to mail-in ballots nationwide, but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has said that such requests are a non-starter.

While many congressional Republicans have voiced support for mail voting as an option for voters, they are loathe to have the federal government set national standards over U.S. elections, which are run mostly by the individual states and localities.

Senate Democrats now seem resigned to the fact that more money may be the most they can get. Still, they are pushing for individual states to greatly expand access to mail voting, and they see providing more funding as a means to allow that. . . "

I don't know if you are aware that 90% of our local voting precincts have been closed for these recent primaries and for this upcoming elections, because of this pandemic....the older folks who are our poll workers in most local districts, are refusing to work the polls due to being at much higher risk of death. This, and the CDC' s guideline of 6ft of separation when indoors, has brought states to close polling spots and combine them in to mega voting centers.... halfway across town in larger cities, making it more difficult to reach and vote....

And this in the primary caused long long long long lines, and 6 HOUR WAITING TIMES in line to vote. This disenfranchised both republican and democratic voters, people walked away.

Plus, there are 70 million senior citizens and another 20 million adults with disabilities, 90 million adults of voting age, at HIGH RISK of death, if they catch this virus.

Voting in person, or waiting hours in some mega voting center's line is simply not an option...You and the President are trying to force our govt, to force these 90 million citizens if they want to vote, to either commit a forced suicide or vote.... And that's absurd, let alone evil....


We are the United States of America... for goodness sake!

We went to the moon, we split the gosh DARN atom, we can certainly handle an increase in mail in ballots to vote if our minds set out to do such!!! And do so safely, timely, and without massive fraud.

The president is such a Debbie Downer, a defeatist, and naysayer and clearly does not have an ounce of love or confidence in this nation he is suppose to be LEADING....

And he can kiss my grits!

You are making this personal.

Yes, he has some concerns. But I am not sure it is entirely political. Yes, in this article, provided by NPR, they make it appear he is a clueless xenophobe.

Trump Opposes Postal Service Funding But Says He'd Sign Bill Including It

President Trump on Thursday evening reiterates his interest in denying the U.S. Postal Service funds, which he says would kneecap efforts to expand mail-in voting.

But, you will note, that is a local NPR spin on the issue, much like, maybe your town has?

There is much more nuance here than just the personalities or partisan politics.

There are so many issues that just can't be solved in time for the election, and throwing money at the issue just will not do it. It is an organizational, security and a man power issue.

It's like you do not even care about electoral integrity, who do you think you are conning?

Republicans Signal They're Willing To Pay Up To Avoid An Election Day Disaster

Republicans Signal They're Willing To Pay Up To Avoid An Election Day Disaster

Senate Republicans say they are open to sending states more money to make it easier to administer an election amid the pandemic after initial fears that no more federal money would be spent.

www.npr.org

". . . Senate Rules Committee Chair Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., said on the Senate floor before lawmakers went on recess that he was "prepared to look at more money for the states to use for elections this year."

"We continue to work toward an election that produces a result that people have confidence in," Blunt said. "And done in a way that everybody that wants to vote, gets to vote."

On Friday he announced the committee will hold a hearing on July 22 about preparing for the general election.

In addition to more money, Democrats had wanted broader policy changes, including mandated weeks of early voting and universal access to mail-in ballots nationwide, but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has said that such requests are a non-starter.

While many congressional Republicans have voiced support for mail voting as an option for voters, they are loathe to have the federal government set national standards over U.S. elections, which are run mostly by the individual states and localities.

Senate Democrats now seem resigned to the fact that more money may be the most they can get. Still, they are pushing for individual states to greatly expand access to mail voting, and they see providing more funding as a means to allow that. . . "

Philly lawmakers are warning of an ‘unmitigated disaster’ as post office problems lead to big mail delays

The lawmakers said there's an urgent need to address the issue ahead of the November election, which is expected to see an unprecedented number of voters cast their ballots by mail due to the coronavirus pandemic.

There are problems, most all of which, can be avoided, with planning.

The president calls these post office problems, RIGGING THE ELECTION, which is utter bull crap.

He and Rs have sat on these voiced concerns for the post office for over two months now.... And you think that wasn't political?
