Now you’re worried about minority rights?
I don’t know man. Seems like the people getting elected and passing laws is exactly how democracy is supposed to work.This thread is not about whether or not government mailing ballots all over the place without being prompted is a good idea or not. I think it's not, but that's for another thread.
The parties of course are competing with each other. And realistically, there are only two parties that win any substantial number of elections. Fair play in all competitions is that rules are agreed on before the competition by the contestants.
That Democrats are ramming a new system down everyone's throats is in itself wrong and despotic. The parties should agree to changing the system of deciding who wins those competitions before the competition. One party should not be able to unilaterally change the rules themselves on their own.
Democrats keep saying we're a "democracy." Well, when one side is deciding how we determine the winner, it's not. Democrats are more and more like any despotic government that decides how elections will be run and who will win.
If mail in ballots are better, then we need to take the time and figure out how to make it work so both sides are comfortable.
So the question to address in the thread: Should one party be able to unilaterally be able to change the basic rules of the game over the objections of the other party?
I say no. Republicans should not be able to do it either
Cool. Now you have any comments about my OP?

Moving to mail voting does not slant the rules towards one party or the other, despite what you are told to believe. This is not despotism, which is absurd hyperbole.
Now, if you want to talk about gerrymandering, that's an entirely different story...
Irrelevant to the question I asked:
