What is wrong with people. So much entitlement.

Entitlement? Please come up with a good reason to remove postal sorting machines. Which are very expensive, and save huge numbers of hours of work. He claims he’s trying to cut overtime, and he takes away machines that cut overtime? Hogwash. The only possible reason is to slow down the mail.
 
Also illness. If you are sick and can’t get out because you are contagious, then you vote by absentee ballot.

The electoral college is different. We are talking about a massive number of voters, access to computers or phones, possible coersion and after the vote someone, whether it is the government or a private company, having access to that database.

It may happen someday but not anytime soon.

Well, of course. The elderly, those with medical conditions that make it much more dangerous to catch the coronavirus, those who live with or care for people who are in serious danger if they catch it . . . You know, the millions for whom voting by mail is the smart thing to do.
 
Yes,however mail n only isn’t the way to go.As with all things Covid,those who want to mail in fine,those who prefer to vote in person should be allowed.However,in most dem states,such as here n Colo.we don’t have an option.Go figure!:roll_eyes:
 
puer.dei (inventing a false dichotomy while pretending people at high risk cannot vote by mail right now with the system we have) . . .

Don’t the sick have a right to vote?

What makes you think anybody thinks “the sick” have no right to vote?

Did “the sick” lack a "right to vote in 2016?
Or only now while mail-in voting is politically pushed by the left.

No they are different.Absentee requires proof that one is either going to be out of the country,military service etc. much more involved.

It all depends on the state. Some states like California don’t require any reason to be given for requesting an absentee ballot.

Of course I did. All I had to do is make a phone call, and the company rectified the problem. I did not have to pay a red cent for those fraudulent uses. The point is that there are many billions of transactions, and only a small percentage of them have any problems.

Throwing the baby out with the bathwater?

Thank you for making my point (a “small percentage” is all you need).

That’d be the proponents of throwing out balloting in person.
 
So, how many seniors, the people who normally man voting precincts, are going to sit for hours in an enclosed space to check people in? Mail in/absentee voting reduces the workload and the need for poll workers.

AND, Trump is filling people’s mailboxes right now with Absentee Voting requests.

Come on, people get your stories straight.

And finally to get rid of the Electoral College would create a truly one-person-one-vote system, the real bedrock of the Republic.

I agree with some of what you posted but definitely - however not this … actually one-person-one-vote system is NOT the real bedrock of the Republic. That would be a pure Democracy which is a tyranny of the majority and not a stable form of governance …

We have a representative democratic republic form of governance …

We are the United STATES of America - not the United Citizens - thus each state large and small - geographically in size and with large or small populations are equal even as their interests are diverse - agrarian, manufacturing, entertainment, recreation, service sector … .This is why each state receives 2 senators and representation in the house is done by population and the president is elected via the Electoral College - also based upon representation/population with each state deciding how their “electors” votes are cast …

We should never give up the electoral college - or the only representation in the executive branch will be the the large urban centers of the nation. If they are going to change the agreement by which states entered into the United States of America - then each state should be allowed to un-Unite themselves

The federal election being different is what I was pointing out. Most of the elections are managed at the state level. With the exception of the Judical branch stepping in to stop illegal practices, the federal government doesn’t have interaction in your local elections. So I don’t understand the concern that you express here for the federal government and your local elections.

As for the concern for third party services, the use of third party storage providers isn’t intrinsically necessary for electronic voting. It is getting an unnecessary mention.

In my state (Georgia) I haven’t had to state a reason. For an election a month or two ago they automatically mailed me an application for absentee voting. I was able to fill that out online to receive my ballot in the mail.
 

Pro tip, guys? When you are gathering in person to say why you can’t gather in person to vote, you tend to argue against your own point.​

Protesters Gather In Person to Protest Why They Need Mail In Voting, and Fauci Blows Up Their Narrative​

Posted at 1:00 pm on August 16, 2020 by Nick Arama

We brought you the story of how Shut Down D.C. folks went to protest at the home of the Postmaster General Louis DeJoy. They shifted over from their regular BLM protests to the New Democratic conspiracy theory: the president is attacking the USPS.

But then the very folks complaining that President Donald Trump is somehow harassing the USPS were themselves harassing the Postmaster General on a Saturday morning.

. . . Here are these protesters coming out, in person, to argue why they need mail in voting in part because of the virus.

Notice several older people and no social distancing.

But they can’t go out to vote for a few minutes? Is this reality? How do you get people this illogical? . . .
