    That you put devotion to an idiot ahead of doing what is right.

    Mail in voting for no reason should be outlawed. And Covid is not a reason…

    There are several states, including red states, that do entirely mail in voting. They haven't had any issues. Why should mail in voting be outlawed?

    The funny thing is in states like FL and Arizona especially, the mail in voting historically was put in place by Republicans to make it easier for retired snowbirds (a reliably R leaning constituency).

    Kind of crazy to see the cult-like flip flop on this issue directly in response to Trump’s Pavlovian conditioning

    Just as well thought out and reasoned an argument as we've come to expect. SMH

    Sounds like a movie Oliver Stone would make in collaboration with Clint Eastwood.

    News flash, drop boxes aren't mail in voting. There are videos of people dropping a hand full of ballots in right in front of everyone waiting in line to vote the right way but evidently this is all ok with the libs here. It's just not right, don't care which color team they're pushing.

    If you are waiting in a long line for a food order, do you give the evil eye for the people who walk right in and walk right back out with a mobile pickup order?

    Other than the lack of a stamp and use of the post office, the difference is… ??? The ballot would be the exactly the same. It is bar coded so it cannot be a duplicate. Voters cannot vote twice whether sending by mail or a drop box. So you’ll have to explain this distinction

    Do you enjoy waiting in lines or something? How many of you honestly considered any of this an issue before Trump told you it was an issue? Be honest.

    Mail in for no reason should not be a thing. Not saying you have to agree.

    Not hard to understand why mail in for no reason is a bad idea.

    Then it should not be difficult for you to explain your reasons for thinking it is. Please do.

    Simple. Voting is to important to not make sure the person casting the vote shows up and proves who they are.

    National elections (all for that matter) should be polls open midnight to midnight and outside of legitimate reasons… voting in person.

    My wife works 45 minutes from the house when there's no traffic. She's usually in by 8 am, which means leaving by 7. She usually leaves by 5 pm, which means home by 6, giving her only 1 hour after work to vote. This assumes she doesn't have to work late, no traffic, no kid issues, etc. But mail-in voting? It's a breeze.

    It's why we have both been on the permanent mail in voter roll for the last few years. Works great. Lots of Arizona voters on it. And the 2020 election audit results? A grand total of 9 fraud votes found.

    So please explain, why is mail-in voting bad?

    I work a few hundred yards from a Dropbox. I’ve never taken only a single ballot to it. I’ve taken as many as 4. It’s called dropping off other peoples ballots. Now go back to your big gov safe space

    I’ve always been mailed a ballot for the last 17 years. How else would I know there is an election?

    The CINOs are about spending 100s of millions, creating extra security forces & constructing incompetent bureaucracies not to solve a problem cuz there’s not one, but as a salve for their irrational fears. It must be crippling to live in such a fearful state

    There is some agreement here for sure.

    If we got the algorithms of FB/tweeter/instagram/etc…

    You will see how they can influence an election as well.
