It explains all the quirks that can happen.

Just remember --- there are all kinds of issues with voter lists, provisional ballots, etc. with votes at polling station.

And you cannot object to Nevada having mail in balloting while proomting Florida having mail in balloting.
Thank you. So no actual fraud, just as you put it, quirks to work through.

Dems don't want mail-in. They want chaos, so that they can blame their loss on Trump and claim he cheated in some way.

Default GOP fears Trump attacks on mail-in vote will sabotage turnout

Trump's constant attack on mail in voting will have the effect of suppressing his own vote for older Americans who can't go to the polls and get exposed to the virus.

Yesterday Trump tweets that it's now okay to mail in your ballot if you live in Florida. Trump keeps trying to make some distinction between a mail in ballot, and absentee voting. In reality it's exactly the same with expectation to states who mail all ballots to registered voters. I don't know anyone who goes to polling stations anymore for years.

He votes by mail and seems to think that "it's O.K. for me ...but not for thee!" What a hypocrite!

Are ID's required for mail in votes?

They are for absentee voting...

Lol..Why are the Dems always trying to move the goal posts? First it was get rid of the EC and now.. mail in ballots. They’re more afraid of Trump than a billy goat is of a butcher’s knife.

Did you not understand anything?

Not a single dem wants to get rid of mail in ballots. The OP pointed out that Trump's ranting against mail in ballots could suppress his own vote. Not a single dem would complain about that. On the contrary, they'd welcome it.

Vote early. Bypass his attempts to suppress the vote by banking a lot of votes early. If there is early voting in your area, go vote early.

Trump is going to pull out all the stops to derail this election. We have some tools at hand to help thwart them. Let's use them.

Whether by mail-in or in person, vote early if you can.

No, they want to allow everyone to mail in their ballots..... they can’t win fairly so they’re trying to stack the deck.
