[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's a quick read from the WP about this matter. The following paragraph really jumped out at me:

That’s because — and this is vital to understand — in 34 states, including the swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, ballots [b]can’t just be postmarked by Election Day to count[/b]. It has to be received by Election Day. If you mail it three days before, thinking you did everything right, but it doesn’t arrive at the board of elections until the day after the election, it’s tossed in the trash.

And if that's the law, how is that Trump's fault?  Why not just put your ballot in the mail a week or so before election day?  Why should a board of election accept a late ballot?[/quote]

Because Trump is deliberately sabotaging the postal service's ability to deliver such ballots. It's also not going to reach most voters who don't follow the news as closely as you or me. Shouldn't we be making it easier for all people to vote? You know, so that we have a representative democracy?[/quote]

Yes, Trump-defender PP...as a patriot wouldn't you want to make the voting process smoother? The right to vote is our most precious right as citizens. Why aren't you concerned about safeguarding our right to vote? How are you okay with the blatant attempt to slow down the mail in advance of an election taking place during a pandemic by removing post boxes, removing mail sorting machines, denying over time so that postal workers can keep up with demand, and essentially defunding the USPS. You know that Ben Franklin was the first postmaster, right? Does that not stir any sense of patriotism in you?[/quote]
