Next we're going to see Trump invite Chinese and Russian observers.

The U.S. postal system has needed extra funding at least ever since it became unionized. And for most personal and even much of people's official and financial correspondence, it has greatly been replaced by the internet. Computer mailing would probably be more reliable than postal mail.

Not since unionization as much as since a Republican led congress insisted they hold ridiculously high pension reserves.

Regardless it's an unprecedented, vile, shameless and brazen politicization of our system.

Yeah, quite a bit since unionization, though not only because of that. The price of government beyond its normal idiotic and unsustainable spending, has incrementally grown by periodic union demands in wages and benefits--especially the benefits and generous pension arrangements and low ages possible for retirement.

As for the idea that the high pension reserves is the cause, this Forbes article effectively explains it differently: https://www.forbes.com/sites/ebauer/.../#2281215d335f

Your mail in vote doesn't leave the town you mailed in in it's not rocket science

Thousands of absentee ballots have been processed by the military overseas forever they dont magically disappear or increase

At best they need some funding to cover overtime to process the ballots

No, they are for anyone who doesn’t want to or physically can’t go to a polling location for any reason allowed by local law.

My mom voted absentee for 30 years because she couldn’t walk.

absentee ballots are requested because the people that request them want to vote, the "mail-in" are just being sent out in volume....because democrats want to try to get as many stupid, lazy and dead people voting as possible because it increases their chances

Stupid might just help Trump, lazy benefits nobody, dead doesn’t really happen.

Don’t know why making voting safer in a pandemic is a bad thing. It’s one of the most important institutions we have and yet one more Trump wants to undermine.

Really love to see where that's happening.. Here in Massachusetts every registered voter had a application for a mail in ballot sent to their home.. and had the choice go to a polling site or fill out the application to receive a MAIL IN BALLOT


But why should facts matter
