    Well, I'll give you credit. You're trying very hard with as little ammo as is available to you.

    And you actually read the link. That's better than most here can manage.

    Yeah. I would say that's an extension of a different point, should we have elections in times of national emergency? And the answer is yes. You can still secure the vote through voting. Remember most voter fraud doesn't happen because of people voting. It happens due to counting irregularities.

    How can you have valid mail in voting without up to date rolls? That's a disaster waiting to happen. That is why you can't really change how it's done at this point. There would need to be guidelines and oversight and there is not enough time to get that done...

    What's funny, or sad, really, is that I have no doubt that you actually believe that.

    Fortunately, people smarter than me, and you too, apparently, have a name for this.

    I've voted in every election and primary since Reagan, I've never described it as anything but easy.

    The most difficult part had usually been the stupid amendment that is worded in so much legalize that you cant figure out if yes means no or no means yes.

    Do you find voting hard?

    If yes . Can you elaborate in what way?

    So you wouldn’t vote in an election because some bureaucrats tell you no?

    Post the fraud statistics.
    Really simple to prove your fraud claims. Show how statistically fraud is an issue.

    No one has ever done that yet.

    Due to the 20th amendment, postponing the election beyond January 20th would result in a Democrat becoming president. Either Pelosi or Pat Leahy, so be careful what you wish for.

    I have voted in both rural elections and in big cities, polling location and the number of people assigned to that location has been the biggest variable in my experience. I have walked in and voted immediately and then also had to stand in line for over an hour — I have also had polling locations change last minute and be required to drive across the city to get to the correct polling station.

    Mild annoyance at worst but I have a new car and am self employed so I make my own hours at work.

    I have two friends that it is much more difficult for, I have been taking them to their voting locations for half a decade as they have vehicle issues and it is too far for them to walk (that is considering if they have to go in to work) — one was homeless for a while so she couldn’t register to vote. If they didn’t have a friend they would not bother voting like they did before I offered to take them.

    Collage students in my area also have an issue — they have to travel back to their home town to vote. Many of them just don’t bother.

    I completely agree with this. Postpone the presidential election till 2024.

    President Pelosi would be hilarious with all the new powers y’all have given the exe branch.

    Good question, especially since most voting by mail has been by Republicans in recent decades.

    not sure, as most republican vote via absentee ballot, so i am ok with banning it

    I think it was just for the primaries they were against it, cause republicans already decided, they wanted dems to have to risk their life to vote

    College kids have to go home to vote? Florida must be better than your state, in Gainesville, Tallahassee, Miami I'm 99% sure they vote early and on campus, and registration was actively advertised at multiple booths on campus. I'd have to ask my kid again but that's how I remember it described.

    Trump’s vote could not have been fraudulent, he’s known to be a US citizen. Right?
