    Whatever must be done to win I suppose...

    https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/01/politics/texas-governor-drop-off-locations-ballots/index.html

    What's sad is the sorry justification for it. Ballot security. As if there's any way to stop voter fraud at the drop off point. What is the plan then? Will the governor provide such security? Will he leave it to GOP operatives and dem operatives?

    Here's a better plan. Leave all the boxes and just expand the so called security to all of them. Why not do that? I mean, Texas has all that oil money and it's always bigger in Texas. Why shrink the drop off boxes? The motive is obvious, but the question becomes how far will Trump's supporters go? If you're guy can't win the way every other GOP president did, what makes you so confident he should?

    Republicans plan is always to make voting harder. It’s the main reason I oppose voter ID, since it’s always states who also do **** like this.

    The only way republicans can win elections is to cheat either through voter disenfranchisement or gerrymandering

    This should be readily apparent

    Where do we normally see long lines to vote?
    Minority areas in red states.

    Or *gasp* go vote in person.. Wear a mask.

    Simple.

    We all know why you want people dropping ballots off at random boxes with no security......

    Forcing mail in ballots is already risky enough. Having voters put them in a container marked "Ballot Drop Box" is just plain stupid.

    If you can go out and protest and riot, you can wear a mask and go vote in person.
