If people who move just can't be bothered with filling out the form to notify the post office of their new address, then it's their own damned fault they didn't get their ballot.

How on Earth is mailing in a ballot stacking the deck? So if all those same voters went to the polls instead, would that be stacking the deck, too? Do you even hear yourself?

Because of the track record of the liberals lying and cheating ways... They’ve been lying to the American people
For the last 4 years... so anything that they propose is going to be suspect. They’ll lye and cheat at every turn.

A vote is a vote. Mail-in or ballot box makes no difference. Unless you're Trump or one of his supporters and you're worried that if everyone is able to vote Trump will lose.

Oh, puhleeze. States like Oregon, Washington have been doing vote by mail for decades and haven't experienced the apocalypic situation you've cited.

Someone probably told him he has already lost Colorado and Nevada because of his actions.

Florida and Arizona could be next and thats the ball game even if Biden loses every other swing state.

This is the most idiotic statement ever and another Darwin award winner. You right wing nuts are trying to ruin this country. You never had it so good under the previous administration and now you're trying to fix the election by banning mail in ballots.

Somehow we think that printing stuff out, mailing it, filling it out, mailing it back, and having a human open it and either read it or feed it into their own newfangled computer is... safer? better? Certainly not cheaper.

Embarrassing as a nation that we can't figure out how to use 30 year old tech to do something so simple.
What do you expect?
You are talking about a country where we don’t have automatic voting registration or voter photo ID.
