In person voting is not being removed. Mail in ballots allow more citizens, no matter their party affiliation to cast their vote. You seem to be confused due to Donald's Trumpian conflation campaign tactics.

Have you fallen prey to Trump's appalling and reprehensible campaign strategy to suppress the vote and undermine the elections with all his autocratic remarks and evidence free accusations? You do recall that it was the president who made the shocking, clearly rejected and widely rebuked undemocratic suggestion of moving the election?

Response:

A series of Tests were conducted by mail in voting.
In one test 100 letters were mailed out. 3 were lost.

3% is a substantial number in any race that is close.

A president will not be elected until every vote is counted.
If this means extending the term in office than so be it.......................

The Trump administration is not trying to change the date.

Quote:
White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows confirmed this year’s presidential election will take place as planned on November 3. He made the announcement during an interview on Sunday.

Meadows suggested, however, there are serious concerns surrounding mail-in voting. Specifically, he said the results of the election could be delayed by several weeks if a wide-scale number of Americans decide to vote using mail-in ballots.

Backing up these comments, Meadows called out New York after the state took more than a month to count all of its primary election ballots.
Mail in voting would be a disaster and just make voter fraud the norm.

Would take an amendment, which would require passage in both houses plus ratification by the states. Not going to happen. Trump is talking out of his hindquarters as usual. He has no capacity to demand the election delayed until conditions are more favorable for his re-election, which is why he’s working overtime to undermine the validity of the results. Make no mistake about it; Trump is a wannabe fascist.

To the person who anonymously left a comment with a rep point (thanks for that!), I wrote wannabe. Threatening to delay the election and undermining access to mail-in voting is absolutely an aspiring fascist move, but, thankfully, Trump has been thwarted so far.

Incorrect, you seem to be confused by the democrat fraud machine, telling you, well, fraudulent things.

In person voting has been removed in Washington and Oregon. Not surprising as they are blue states, and the potential for fraud, and manipulation of ballots there is higher.

As I understand it, Nevada is attempting to join them. Montana decided against it. There is a majority of states, I think 37 was the number I saw, that have some form of "excused" or absentee balloting available. As that system has far fewer users, and is more documented, the potential for fraud, manipulation, and mismanagement of ballots is less likely....... although I'm sure there is still some way to game that as well. You'd have to ask a fellow democrat about that.

As of this post over 91% of the respondents to the poll have voted the same way. Plenty of them are Trump supporters to be certain.

Satisfied?

Probably not, I'm sure you'll just go on whining about it anyway.

Then why support someone with such a blatant disregard for the constitution?
