since democrats are the ones who ignore the obvious and deny that mailing in ballots is prone to fraud, obviously they feel it helps them.

no one ever said you get 100% fraud with mail. but are you denying it’s easier to commit fraud with mail in ballots, than it is with voting in person?

NEW: The U.S. Attorney's Office and FBI in Philadelphia have announced the guilty plea of a local elections judge, Domenick J. Demuro there who took bribes in exchange for adding ballots to increase the vote totals for certain candidates.
U.S. Attorney @USAttyMcSwain says, “Demuro fraudulently stuffed the ballot box by literally standing in a voting booth and voting over and over, as fast as he could, while he thought the coast was clear."
This can’t happen with a mailed ballot. Fun fact.
Unless Jim’s your mailman.

Mailed ballots can be thrown in the garbage. Again, if you think that only right wing Trumplicans have this concern, I guess Jimmy Carter is a right wing Trumplican.

I'm not saying every single ballot that gets put in the mail is tampered with. Nor am I saying that there are no other forms of voter fraud. Nor am I saying that Republicans don't engage in fraud. All I'm saying, is that mail in ballots are easier to tamper with, than in person voting. I don't get why that's a controversial thing to say, but I also never would have thought it would be controversial to say "if you have a wee-wee, you pee in the mens room".

I’m far more concerned that so few citizens vote in this country than the largely imaginary voting fraud issue.
Blocking voters thru various machinations is the new President Tweety method.
Or just canceling an election like they did in Georgia, because of poorly drafted language in their constitution.

I'm far more concerned that so many citizens vote on the basis of leftist political propaganda.

Actually, if Trump gets re-elected, and the Repubs win the House and Senate, that would go farther toward stabilizing our country than if the Biden-Ocasio Cortez-Omar-Bernie Sanders-Clinton-Pelosi-Schumer mess wins.

The sliver of voters who will ultimately decide this election, independents and moderate Republicans, correctly see Tweety as the ultimate Washington insider, someone who uses the power of the office to benefit himself, his cronies and his business interests.

The trends are not looking good for Tweety

“Fox News is no longer the same. We miss the great Roger Ailes. You have more anti-Trump people, by far, than ever before. Looking for a new outlet!”

It turns out that, just as you will never be woke enough, you will never be MAGA enough.

Biden is leading Trump among black voters 81% to 3%

National GE:
Biden 46% (+5)
Trump 41%

#Wisconsin:
Biden 48% (+10)
Trump 38%
.
#Pennsylvania:
Biden 48% (+9)
Trump 39%
.
#Michigan:
Biden 47% (+8)
Trump 39%
.
#Arizona:
Biden 45% (+4)
Trump 41%
.
#Florida:
Biden 45% (+2)
Trump 43%
.
#NC:
Biden 45% (+2)
Trump 43%

See how quick he turns.
Funny how CNN stops being ‘fake news’ when he needs them. Tweety’s marks are on to the con and he knows it.

Tweety’s tweet today
Why doesn’t @FoxNews put up the CNBC POLL or the (believe it or not!) @CNN Poll? Hope Roger A is looking down and watching what has happened to this once beautiful creation!

Uuhh . . . yeah . . . we all saw that before you thought it was necessary to point it out for us. We know, by now, that's what Trump does. We don't like a lot of what he does. But prefer that to what politically correct, socially unjust, leftist transformation of America, that the Dems will do if they gain power.

You should realize that while campaigns are dynamic, views on Tweety are static. That means he has a very high floor and a very low ceiling. It also means no matter how much Tweety’s campaign tries to make this campaign about anything other than his performance during the covid-19 pandemic, that is what 2020 will be about.
95,000 dead
Over 1.6 Million infected

Thank you for informing me that Trump is trapped between a very high floor and a very low ceiling. It is obvious that he, being morbidly obese in such tight quarters, will be crushed by the inevitable next squeeze by floor or ceiling. Not a pretty picture for many of us, but for you, no doubt, a thing of beauty.

We can, then, look forward to your next batch of uplifting and charming news bites? Heaven knows, in these depressing times, we need some positive strokes.

The floor and ceiling is Tweety’s approval rating, which has a historically narrow range and due to his divisiveness, real or perceived, he is unable to change it.

We will need a new President to have anything uplifting occur, victims don’t do uplifting and charming.
It’s not part of their schtick.

Of course . . . of course . . . you use all these marvelous and proven parameters of prediction. That's why you have been so consistently spot on with all your prognoses, projections, and conjectures.

And thanks much . . . it's a relief to come to the realization that we victims are not capable of saying or doing anything that might be uplifting. And, certainly, we possess no charming qualities whatsoever.

So you support Tweety because he is your fellow victim, shared values?
