Cinga Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 The original intent of an absentee ballot was that some people could not for whatever reason, be at their primary home residence on ELECTION DAY! If we are no longer going to do this on a single day, then absentee ballots should only go to service members, or people who have sworn an affidavit that this is their primary residence but they cannot be there during the extended voting period and state a reason. 3

The fact that we need to go to a physical location to check a box in 2020 is laughable. I'll take that as a compliment from the resident hominid. 1
Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 If all the poll workers quit we will have to do absentee ballots. Can’t let the Republicans turn this pandemic into the greatest voter suppression scheme ever.

B-Man Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 Don't let this chance go to waste libs. And it is NOT about the GOP preventing people to register to vote, but having an honest election, where ALL citizens get to vote (once) Democrats renew vote-by-mail push as virus upends elections www.wsbtv.com › news › politics › democrats-renew-vote Vote by mail: Coronavirus intensifies Democrats' push ... www.cnn.com › 2020/04/03 › politics › vote-by-mail-coronavirus The Cybersecurity 202: Democrats see coronavirus stimulus as last,best chance to push for Mail Voting... www.washingtonpost.com › paloma › the-cybersecurity-202 › 2020/03/23 1

Spot on. When in NY I used absentee ballots often as I traveled for work. When I moved to Texas, ID was required in order to vote. I had to prove citizenship in order to get a drivers license. This is not an issue as they made many accommodations on the type of ID. If you did not have an ID it was because you would not try or did not meet the requirements. If voting is an important right, why is it not important to protect that right by asking for ID. You need a legit ID to do many things in society - why is this important right not universally one of these. 3 1 2

We can’t do that now, this is an emergency, the absentee ballots would be easier and states already do it. 1
billsfan89 Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 I am shocked that this is even a debate. We should be making it easier for people to vote not harder. Allowing mail in ballots and early voting for all 50 states plus Puerto Rico is a good thing. 2 1

Wouldn't it be just as easy to hack electronic voting systems that have no paper trail? Mail in ballots have to be tied to an individual voter and leave a paper trail. It also takes place over many weeks which gives election officials an easier time noticing abnormal voting patterns.

Mail in ballots have to be tied to an individual voter and leave a paper trail. It also takes place over many weeks which gives election officials an easier time noticing abnormal voting patterns. Look at California in 2018 and it’s ballot harvesting issues. It’s not difficult to see how rampant fraud can be when there’s no oversight — which there wouldn’t be if the elections are federalized. Voting is a right people have died to protect and pass on. Saying we can’t do it today because of a bug is the height of cowardice. It’s time to be smart AND brave. 1

No, it will be fair, and you will lose. You guys didnt even want to protect our voting voting systems from Russian hacking, took a lot of pressure to get Moscow Mitch to finely get something done there. Shameful The military votes with absentee ballots

That's why you go back to the machines that were in nearly all voting locations most of the 20th Century. The kind where once you pull the big lever closing the curtain you pull a little lever for each candidate that you want. Then you pull the big lever and then the big curtain opens to let you exit. 14 minutes ago, Tiberius said: Democrats are terrified more people will vote FIFY once again. Did you find your GED? 2
Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 States that vote entirely by mail see little fraud. Five states, including the Republican bastion of Utah, now conduct all elections almost entirely by mail. They report very little fraud. The state is among the six states with the highest percentage of mail-in votes in the last election in 2018, all of which had Republican state election supervisors at the time, according to David J. Becker, the director of the Center for Election Innovation and Reform. Colorado, which has 3.5 million registered voters, has been a vote-by-mail state since 2014. 2
