If he makes mail in voting impossible by gutting the post office, there will be big lines on election day. Huge lines. Like this
and this
And these will not be your daddy's long lines to vote. These will be angry people in masks who will be chanting as they wait. They will come equipped with food and water. Umbrellas in case it rains. Depends in case they can not "hold it" for six hours. Portable stools for those too old to stand for long. Wheelchairs for those who cannot stand at all. It will become a badge of honor to have endured in order to vote cast out the Russian supported fascist dictator who occupies the Oval Office.
And history will record it all and Trump will be remembered as the president who declared war on the US voter---and lost.
And "I voted in November, 2020" will be something that people tell their grandchildren in years to come.

(9,263 posts)first time in history the democrats are fueled by anger at this level. People vote anger and why GOP been successful with minority of voters. The tables are turned, GOP clueless and incapable of stopping a landslide outside of open civil war and "we" would have lots to say about that

(30,613 posts)I'll do whatever it takes. I've requested a ballot, but if Trump screws up the delivery of it to my house, I'll vote provisionally, waiting in line if that's what it takes. I'd rather risk my life with COVID, than commit certain suicide by allowing Trump to become dictator for life.

(29,198 posts)but... I decided I am voting in person (with mask). My father fought in a war against fascists... my brother died serving our country... the least I can do is risk catching the virus by standing in a line to vote this wannabe dictator out of office.
Yes, I would have preferred to vote by mail.
But this year... we have to to crystal clear on election day that this asshole has lost the election. Not a week after... no disputes about vote by mail fraud.
After we return to normalcy, we can institute a hand counted (triple hand counted) paper ballot, vote by mail system.

(68,539 posts)someone has to do it. Since DeWine is not making in person voters wear masks, I am risking my life. I will wear a mask, shield, have sanitizer and wear gloves. I will make Trump pay. I am going to win the battle of Traitor Trump for our country.
