Maybe trump & turtle don’t care what happens to the older or smarter republicans who want mail in and also may get sick going out to vote in person in nov
At least not once they are elected ..seems about right

It's an absentee ballot
There are 19 states that allow absentee, but require a valid excuse, the other states require no reason given. You ask and they give.
No state west of the Mississippi River requires a valid excuse.
Of the 18, 11 would be classified as Republican, 6 Democratic and 2 mix (Pennsylvania and New Hampshire).
Valid excuse in all 19 do include illness, physical disability, overseas job (me), military service, religious observance, and required to work.

absentee voting in this state (NC) requires two witnesses. I'm in a high risk category, and I haven't allowed anyone inside my home since all this mess began...not even family. I furiously spray or wipe down every item that enters my home. After witnessing that debacle in WI, I have absolutely no hope that Repukes will do the right thing and allow vote by mail in red & purple states.
