In person voting suddenly seems more secure and logical.

Yeah, not sure what the fuck that is about. All of a sudden people care about the USPS?

[angelinkc]

All about framing two narratives to challenge an election loss. Trump sabotaged the post office and it is too dangerous outdoors stand in voting lines.

I continue to remain highly skeptical of one side saying this is the way everyone should vote, while the other side says no one should vote this way.

Democrats insert a funding raise for the postal service in the bill to help people on unemployment, a pork barrel move and it gets rejected simply because it belongs in a separate budget proposal. Now it's Trump trying to rig an election because he wants the funding separated. You libs are assholes.

Get your ass out and vote then.

Tell that to Trump and his cronies, they are the ones voting by mail every year.

I think the post above me is the first time Tennis didn't type Trump in a post.......but......I see it in the link.

Need a ruling on this one folks. I've been waiting for a Tennis post that didn't include Trump.

And? He’s said multiple times that absentee voting is good but universal mailing of ballots is bad. Every State has some form of absentee voting. There is no reason to reinvent the wheel here. Many people don’t even wanna vote so why even send them a ballot?

If he was in favor of absentee voting he would be the biggest advocate for funding USPS properly but he is not. And he is really transparent about it. He knows that voter turnout will hurt him in so he is trying to suppress the vote by making is harder for people to vote by absentee(even though he says that's good).

Plus there are very few states that are actually sending ballots to everyone and those states aren’t competitive. The rest are either allowing covid to be used as an excuse for absentee ballots or allowing anyone who wants to request a ballot.

Really? You can't thing of one reason why people might prefer mail in ballots to in person voting this year?

That's not what I meant. There are many people who don't want to vote at all, pandemic or not. You know, the "voting is gay" Adam type folks. It's stupid and a waste of time and resources to send them a ballot.

So that's why he is dicking around with the USPS? He's worried about wasting money on unused ballots?
