A fair and non-corrupt election that avoids people risking their lives to vote...

The real question is why do republicans want to make it as difficult and dangerous as they can to.vote???

What BS. If you guys were so concerned about covid you wouldn't be out in the streets protesting and rioting which spread the disease. If you can get out to protest without worrying about covid then you can surely get your asses out to vote. But lets make sure your statement is pure BS. Show us one post where you denounced rioters for spreading covid.

I'm not concerned about covid at all. And lets face it neither are leftuea. As we can see lefties are just using it as a political weapon. Hint: It isn't going to work. We all saw violent lefties rampaging acroas the nation backed and supported by their democrat politicians and fellow less violent ilk.

Herman Caine went to a trump rally and it killed him


I dont care about what you personally think of covid
 
Why are Democrats so eager for mail-in voting?

because they are not vote restricting/voter disenfranchising republicans. The democrats support free and fair elections, the republicans politicans support stolen elections where as many non-white get their ability to vote taken from them.
 
Correct, the key word being “honest”.

If an American feels comfortable going to the grocery store each week, then they feel comfortable enough to wait outside a polling location, be called in quickly and efficiently to vote, and then be on their merry way.


If select individuals sincerely avoid leaving the house at all costs, due to underlying conditions, or extreme anxiety, exceptions can be made.

I hear VERY little talk from liberals, regarding mail in voting, about fear of catching COVID. Some posters have even slipped up and substituted the term Early Voting for Mail In Voting.

To be a bit more explicit here, there are some well intentioned liberals, but a whole lot of others with no other motivation but to move Election Day up a month or two, and cheat.

Yes, Correct "Being Honest, using the word "Honest " even in the same sentence as Politician is a bit of a stretch.

As far as Americans going to the Grocery store each week and feeling comfortable??? I don't know what kind of people you hang out with but 2 words come to mind with grocery shopping "HAVE TO" .Grocery shopping is not a luxury nor a want it is a necessary need.

However jumping to go golfing is not NOT a NEED or NECESSARY , It is in fact a luxury.

In short you are saying if people can go grocery shopping they should be abel to go to the right voting poll and vote.
I'm saying if a politician can go to a rally , play golf, then he too can go to the correct voting poll and vote.

So if you don't go grocery shopping or in cases of underlying conditions or extreme anxiety exceptions can be made but c
according to your previous post must be documented with proof. Is this documentation across the board or just for average Americans?

First of all not a Liberal , Independent voter. thank you.
I do not know where you right wingers got the idea that everybody that disagrees with Trump is a Liberal,but it ain't working not here anyway.

I'm talking Mail-in -Voting if any honest American voter wants to vote early or just in time Mail-in- Vote or vote at the polls.
That is their privileged , not the voice of some politician that screams no, not right, or any other politician to say from now on Mail-in-Voting across the board.
Constitutional right as honest American voters is to vote at the polls or use Mail-in voting or Absentee voting .
I don't think that system has changed or was repealed.

If for some reason a group of politicians don't think it's quite fair,.
They might want to check the whole American system from the top down,

Judicial is every court decision fair??? Economic is this system fair , just how fair is America been going in debt since this economic system was introduced in 2000? Foreign trade deals???
I could go on. but you should get the picture .

Let me introduce you to my kind of explicit.
Both Republicans and Democrats, both Liberals and Conservatives have come short of standing for the well being , the values, goals , and progress of America and the American people.

At one time when a politician made a mistake you waited for the reason or the responsibility.
Today when any politician "REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT makes a mistake two things happen they point figures and accuse , they make excuses , eventually the mistake just fades away
.
Question; How is any politician to learn from their mistakes if in their mind they never make any????:peace

Then why didn’t Democrats propose mail-in voting prior to the pandemic? Why was it proposed only when Democrats realized that the earlier people voted, the easier it would be to hide Biden?

And how are minorities prevented from voting in-person?
 
Trump votes by mail. He requests a ballot and then follows the instructions to complete and return including signing the envelope so the signature can be matched to that on his voter's registration card. That's the process for absentee ballots.

Generalizing mail in voting (like exclusive vote by mail states) to send mail in ballots to all registered voters, will follow the same process as those for absentee ballots.

Its perfectly acceptable to trump to vote by mail along with dozens of his top administration officials, so why not for all other americans? Because voter suppression is the ONLY tactic available to small tent republicans to remain in some semblance of power.

Absentee ballots are a different issue.

This is exactly what I was talking about earlier: they are 100% the same thing.

Trump is branding the official term 'absentee' as 'good' because he does it and it works in districts that support him. He's deriding the generic term 'mail-in' as 'bad' so he can use it to suppress the vote in other districts. But they are one in the same. A mail in vote is an absentee vote and vice versa. He's just trying to paint them differently so it's good for his people and illegal for everyone else.

We don't buy it, so stop trying to pimp it.
 
Why are Democrats so eager for mail-in voting?

It has to do with making sure we do all we can so the American citizen can exercise their right to vote in peace and in health.
 
Well, if he does, he has to follow the rules of voting in a place and state that isn't where he is supposed to be voting. So, if that were to happen, he would be better off with a mail-in vote from the place he is supposed to vote to ensure his vote will be counted. In Maryland, his name would not be on our voter rolls as he is not registered to vote in Maryland. So, at the poll, he would be given a provisional ballot...which gets counted after the election happens. The Board of Elections would have to confirm that it was him that voted and then determine if his vote counts...which it probably wouldn't because he isn't a resident of Maryland. I could be wrong, but if his kids' votes were disqualified, then I'm pretty sure his would be too in this case. Again, each state has its own laws on this if he were to show up and try to vote in a polling station that wasn't in the state he is supposed to be voting in. So, there is that.

So, in case of Maryland, it would just be easier for him to vote via mail. And he has done that...for reasons less dire than COVID-19...which is my point.

What is good for the goose, is good for the gander. He voted by mail those three times because he was in situations where it would have been hard or even impossible for him to get to the poll to vote. And honestly...the reasons he had were legitimate. And by design, the mail-in vote is to help people in situations like that or others that make it hard to vote in person. COVID-19 is a legitimate reason for a mail-in vote for the obvious reasons.

So, when the poster asks why Democrats want the mail-in vote, it is for the same reasons why Trump used the mail-in vote three times. There's no Lib/Dem conspiracy about this. Especially now, with so many GOP Congressmen pushing back on Trump's illogical insistence that it will turn massively fraudulent because they fear that many of their voters will just stay at home and not vote if they can't mail-in.

So, to directly answer your question now that the more important aspects are answered: no, I don't have a problem if Trump comes to Baltimore and does a provisional ballot...odds are it will be one less vote for himself for office....

Lol people this talking point is getting extremely old.

Trump votes by mail because IT IS NOT SAFE for him to show up in person at a polling location.

This talking point of your is still nonsense, no matter how many times you repeat it.

Trump's polling place is a mile down the road from Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach. He flys down there every other week to play golf.
 
Given the fact that such a large scale of mail in voting would cause far more problems than it's worth. We should just continue with voting as normal.

States have been having issues with both their voters being disenfranchised over this event and votes being cast for people who aren't' even in the state.
Not to mention the sheer amount of votes that go missing every year, even when mail in voting was still being done in limited numbers.

This seems more like a desperate act by the Democrats just so that they can change the rules of the game, way too late in an active play.

Care to source your assertion of problems.

Why are you afraid of peiple voting?

Oh but it will be safe for everyone else to, with COVID? Ooopsy-derpsy

:lol:

Lol give me a break.

Any citizen who is in danger of being shot if they show up to a public polling location can vote by mail.

If you feel comfortable going to the grocery store, and participating in protests, then you feel comfortable going to a polling location. People can wait outdoors, hop in quickly, hop out, and be on their merry way.

So its not safe for trump but is perfectly fine in the middle of a raging pandemic for citizens to wait in lines for hours to vote in person? Self awareness is a real thing, you should try it some time?

Uh huh.

The same citizens who are waiting in line at grocery stores and attending protests.

Hypocrisy is a real thing, you should do a little research on it lol.

There’s no reason people need to wait in long lines, think outside the box. Have polling locations open for two weeks if necessary, schedule people by the first letter of their last name. Have people wait outside, call them in one at a time.

The possibilities are endless.
 
Absentee ballots are a different issue.

Please explain how voting by mail and absentee voting are different. Both utilize the postal service.
 
Why is it the Repubs don't want mail in ballots, saying it's safe, but at the same time close polling places because they don't have enough people willing to man the polling place.
The only reason I can come up with is they are trying surpress the voter turnout.

For some reason long wait times to vote tends to be a bigger problem in precincts with large minority populations. Maybe there aren't enough minority volunteers in those precincts? They need more black and Latino members in the League of Women Voters rather than the retired little old white ladies who tend to dominate their ranks?
