The whole purpose of voting by paper is to allow Democrats today yet one more avenue to cheat to win an election.
Petey -- let me give you a few actual facts. And then you can resume your fact-free, clueless, partisan, axe grinding unabated.
In 1992, 92% of the votes nation-wide were cast the old school way -- in person on election day. Down to 60% in 2016. Covid or no, that percentage will continue to drop in each upcoming election cycle. Old school could be the minority of votes cast in 2020. In person/election day voting may well disappear in our lifetimes. It is expensive, inconvenient, and not all that secure and fraud-free.
No voting system is perfect. But new school voting (soon to be the majority way of voting) is as reliable (or more reliable) as old school.
Studies show little evidence of partisan lean in new school voting methods. Mostly, new school voting favors the party that is better able to mobilize its voters to use the new school methods. For a long time, that actually favored the GOP. Because the GOP was very good at getting its older whiter voters to request absentee ballots. That's why Dem politicians in OR and WA initially opposed their universal mail-in election systems.
So the GOP ABSOLUTELY LOVES LOVES LOVES mail-in absentee voting because they think it favors them. They fear universal mail-in voting (UT, CO, WA, OR, HI) because they fear it makes it too easy for younger and darker voters to vote. But universal mail-in voting is eventually going to come to all states eventually. It is just better in every way.
Since there's more Dems than Reps, the GOP clings (with its cold dead hands) to every piece of our political system that allows the few to beat the many. Hence the focus on SCOTUS and judges, the US Senate, gerrymandering, voter ID, voter suppression, gutting the voting rights act, purging voter rolls, etc. etc. etc. Makes total sense -- if you are the minority you are not excited about anything that makes it more likely the majority will come out and vote.
So your conversation is completely disingenuous. It has less than zero to do with fraud. It is 100% about trying to increase the chances for your team to win the game. Which is fine and (unfortunately) the American way these days.
So I'd prefer you just own it -- that's fine. Rather than pee-ing on our legs and telling us it is raining.
Boycott stupid. If you ignore the gator troll, eventually he'll just go back under his bridge.
