Actually just the opposite. The solution is to allow in person voting and absentee voting for the elderly or people who won’t be in town to vote like we have always done. If you can go to the grocery store or attend a protest shoulder to shoulder with people screaming then there is no reason you can’t vote. They could lengthen the time for early voting if necessary.

He will block many of his own votes in Arizona 80% voters use mail in voting for years.
Please provide the original source of him saying these things. Not an edited clip. Not a CNN blurb. The entire unedited statement. I'm curious to know precisely what Trump said.

The same news media that took the quote "Fine people on both sides" quote wildly out of context, while completely ignoring him saying in the same 60 seconds of the same speech "And I'm not talking about white supremacists and Nazis, they should be condemned totally" -- such a news media cannot possibly be trusted to deliver the unvarnished truth about pretty much anything.

I do think it's well past time that election day became a mandatory holiday everywhere in the USA. Everyone should get the day off so there's nothing stopping them from voting.

Suddenly?? The post office has been removing these boxes for well over a decade. Just between 2011 to 2016 the Obama administration removed 12,000 MCBs.

First of all in my state Arizona we have had Permanent Early Voting List (PEVL) for years you don't have to be elderly. It's open to anyone 80% of Arizona voters for years have used this system without any fruad. You sign the envelope has your name and signatures are verified. We can vote 27 days before the election day I hope people get their ballot in sooner then later if the post office is running that far behind.

If there is delays by the US Post office Governor's should call up the National Guard to pickup ballots from homes simple enough.

I heard the “narrative” from someone who has a relative who works as a postal carrier who told me they aren’t able to do their jobs.
