Wow. When the people turn out, Dems win.

thats the important question.
Are these early votes, or are they absentee votes?
Ideally, these votes can be counted before election day, especially in the battleground states.
So if we know that Biden is winning and we can count these votes before Election Day, it’s pretty easy to either report false information. Interesting.
We should have limited early voting and only for good reason and people should have to go to the polls Election Day. That’s the ONLY way to stop widespread cheating.
And provisional ballots should be kept well away from election officials, who might simply mix them in because .... feelings. That’s exactly what happened in Maricopa County AZ
There is absolutely ZERO proof or circumstance of "widespread cheating" based on mail in/absentee ballots. When asked by federal judges in various cases for proof, the GOP was not able to cite ANY circumstances of it. In fact, the only time there has been cheating at scale was 2016 NC-09 when the GOP did it and several people are now convicted felons because of it.
The mail in ballots have individual bar codes, signature verifications and other fail-safes that make it virtually impossible. Add to it, they also leave a paper trail, in the event a recount is necessary. something in-person electronic voting does not have. Finally, why should voting be made hard? Not everyone can wait in a long line on a random Tuesday in November. Between jobs, health care, childcare etc, it is crazy to limit people to a small window to vote. A democracy should encourage and make easy ALL people voting. Yet one side wants to make it hard and limiting. Why?

I also voted absentee in MD. I’m not worried about our votes getting tossed because it’s pretty unlikely they will challenge the Maryland election since the state is so blue. It would be a huge waste of money. If I lived I a swing state I would have voted in person.

Our disabled son is using an absentee ballot we will all deliver in person.
What is your reason for waiting until Election Day? Not asking angrily or anything - but curious why you wouldn't avail yourself of an earlier opportunity. I literally mailed back my ballot the day I got it, I was so excited and eager to vote this year. Are you not actually that enthusiastic about voting?
NP. Because in person votes are easier to count and Trump's campaign is planning on questioning the authenticity of any vote not done in person.

Michigan has early voting. You can drop off your ballot in person before Election Day.
