Voting by mail?
Do we already have a thread for this? Millions of unsolicited ballots seems like a guaranteed way to wipe out any chance of a fair election.
I can see block bosses going around making sure all the old people "vote" a particular way. Gramps is a vegetable, now he's voting? What are the measures in place to prevent any funny business?
Edit: I've voted absentee, but I requested the ballot, it came, I filled it out and mailed it. A very different scenario.
Edit 2: And I would never mail a ballot from my own mailbox. I want that shit anonymous, so my mailman can't unvote me.

Re: Voting by mail?
What unsolicited ballots? You have to request one and be a registered voter. What kind of crackpot thread is this?

Re: Voting by mail?
lots of states are sending mail in ballots without being asked. They are just automatically sending them. California, Nevada, Vermont, Washington DC, New Jersey, Colorado, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Hawaii
Hmm. What do those states have in common? Let me think....

According to Reuters’ calculations, there are an estimated 44.2 million registered voters in the 10 states and jurisdictions automatically sending out ballots for the Nov. 3 election.

Re: Voting by mail?
What the President is likely referring to when he voices concerns about unsolicited ballots are the nine states where every registered voter will receive a ballot in the mail for the upcoming election. However, five of those states (Colorado, Oregon, Utah, Hawaii and Washington) have been holding their elections primarily by mail since before the pandemic, so voters who register in these states do so knowing they'll likely submit their ballot by mail. The four remaining states (California, Vermont, Nevada, and New Jersey) plus Washington DC switched this year --- so, voters there who were already registered didn't actively request a mail-in ballot for this election.
s
Those nine states and Washington, DC, which is also mailing ballots directly, account for over 43 million voters as of mid-August. The five places that changed their policies for this election to send ballots to all voters -- DC, California, Vermont, Nevada and New Jersey -- have at least 29 million registered voters by the latest available count. Based on this data, the number of truly unsolicited ballots sent out is at most, around half of what the President claims, and likely even less.
It's also worth noting that even in the unsolicited instances, states have safeguards in place to prevent the kind of fraud Trump implies will result from the projected increase in voting by mail this election.
So the states that always have done that show increases in voter fraud or nah?

as smoothly as they have counted covid testing numbers, i can't see how there could be any problem with them going through mail in ballots.

Federal judge blocks Postal Service changes that slowed mail
SEATTLE — A U.S. judge on Thursday blocked controversial Postal Service changes that have slowed mail nationwide, calling them “a politically motivated attack on the efficiency of the Postal Service” before the November election.
