Voting during a pandemic

[davew]

They need to bring back ACORN so they can facilitate handing out (filling out) and collecting ballots.

I'm an honest person and I voted by mail for many years as I wrote earlier. The system had checks and balances and I always assumed my vote was counted after I mailed it in.


I don't have a devious mind, so please tell me how you cheat or stuff the ballot box on an absentee/mail-in ballot.


Thank you in advance.


Upon reflection, I suppose at a nursing home maybe something could be done by someone with party affiliations.

I subscribed to my weekly home town newspaper and they would have some sort of form to fill out weeks before the election. I did it every election and they had some local issue items which I sometimes had no opinion on so I left them blank.


I'd receive an official ballot envelope in the mail and did my best to make informed decisions and mail it back. No problems at all. Just had to plan a bit in advance which my newspaper helped me do.


Edit: Hard to vote in person when I lived thousands of miles away in Germany and Korea.



I recently did my Census online with the 12-digit alpha numeric code they provided me. Easy peasy. Took about 5 minutes.

My feeling is that if we live in a developed nation, where voting by mail, voting in person in booths, voting on-line are ALL considered (by one or the other political parties) to be unsafe, then the U.S. has way bigger problems than some think.

Providing your electorate with a safe/accurate means to vote is pretty basic.


IF this is indeed the case, I don't hold out much hope that such a nation can solve more complex problems like a pandemic, or the vast economic problems that emerge from a pandemic.

"Good luck", I guess?

I think all these questions are being answered before your very eyes every single day.

Good luck indeed.

Nobody put a gun to those idiot's heads and told them to go outside and vote.
Its not any reflection on Trump, its testament to how stupid they are.
You should hurry Dan and mail in your ballot(s) now. Avoid the postal overload later on. Just scribble it on notebook paper...that's acceptable.

So it’s okay now if you don’t vote.

The republicans dream.

Trump voted by mail but people from Wisconsin have to show up at the few polls that were open risking life and limb to exercise their constitution right.

It is ridiculous.

Did you know they could not?

SCOTUS ruled no.

The dem governor said yes.

Legislature took it to SCOTUS.

In person only.

They've been screwing with the USPS for decades.
Furthering their agenda at the expense of the US public.

If he were alive today Benjamin Franklin would love to see the Post office privatized.
