You have no idea? Nice that you admit you don't know, and it seems you don't care, what your leaders are doing.

WRONG: Democrats more often vote by mail than Republicans. The results of the close vote in Oklahoma to pass more Medicaid proved this to be true. That is the real reason why Trump and Republicans are so strongly opposed to mail in voting. If only more Republicans voted by mail, the debate would be the other way around. Meanwhile, do you not find fault with Trump who votes by mail? Like Trump, not everybody finds it convenient to vote in person.

Furthermore, for further proof, research shows that 58% of the people who said they'll vote by mail will vote for Biden.

Yep.

Seems that person, and others like her, would rather the postal workers have a higher risk of catching the virus by working those longer hours, just so that they can hide in their houses instead of masking up and going to the polls. I thought masks worked?

Trump is doing what's best for America and Americans, I can see it and that doesn't mean its gotta be within the constitution that all of a sudden demoncrats claim to care about.

Please explain how making voting more difficult is in the best interests of America and Americans? The fraud rate for vote by mail is .00006%. The new crackpot head of USPS has already done a bunch of damage to the agency. We have vote by mail in Oregon and I love it!

Someone knows little about a collective bargaining agreement.

They have been prohibited working overtime. Therefore don't be surprised to hear of reports that letters and especially packages pile up to levels not seen since Christmas time and the UPS strike.

But Trump gets your full approval to continue voting by mail?

Someone's major problem in the union versus management fights is his people being mandated to work overtime when they want to go home. Branch and National officers take a different view.

So vote by mail voting is "safe and secure, tried and true" in Florida, a primarily red state but in other non red states vote by mail ballots "cheat" and will make this election most "inaccurate and fraudulent election in history"???

Is President Trump's main concern about mail in voting potential voter fraud (which study after study shows voter fraud is extremely rare) or something more sinister?
Presidential elections have been close in Florida. I don't get why Trump praises the mail-in system of voting in Florida as safe and secure.
