NOT counting absentee ballots casts doubts on the election results.... counting them, does not....
Even if states allow a week or two, to count them....They should be counted, if they are ballots that have been post MARKED prior to the election.
Get it through your thick skull... IM NOT TALKING ABOUT ABSENTEE BALLOTS!!!!!
I am talking about these ridiculous “I’m too ******* lazy to go to the polls” ballots. The ballots some States are saying they make count up to multiple digit days after the election ends. These ballots shouldn’t even exist. If they do exist they should be required to be in the hands of the Election officials a week early, so they can be counted immediately.
Ignorant nonsense.
This has nothing to do with being ‘lazy.’
The right to vote is fundamental and paramount – it’s incumbent upon government to facilitate, safeguard, and encourage the exercising of that right; voting by mail is perfectly appropriate and warranted.
What’s ridiculous is the wrongheaded notion that voting in person is the only ‘legitimate’ way to exercise the right to vote.
This is about conservatives’ fear that when voter turnout is high, Republicans tend to lose, along with the right’s desire to suppress votes.
A person too lazy to go to the polls is likely to be too lazy to educate themselves on the issues.
That is the type of voters that dems love.
Hence their desire to make it as easy as possible.
Like Donald Trump, Ivanka, Kushner, Minuchin, Pompeo etc etc etc?
I have voted absentee mail in ballot since my latter years working, when I never knew ahead of 1 week, when I would or could be out of town, and there after as a homemaker, because it was informative and convenient to have the ballot in hand ahead of time, to give time, to research all of the candidates and any referendum issues being voted on. Mail in absentee voting is awesome!
Those who want to self INFORM, instead of being a puppet of a straight party vote ticket, use them, and most higher up businessmen/women, and the military, and politicians afar, and college students, and the elderly, and the disabled, and those with hourly paid jobs with the polling booth out of walking distance, who can't afford losing their hourly pay, waiting in lines, and our overseas patriots, and our diplomats, etc etc etc
