'Is this a joke?' North Carolina voters are being mailed absentee ballot request forms with Trump's
Voters in North Carolina sent mail-in ballot request forms that feature President Trump's face on them, with the words "ARE YOU GOING TO LET THE DEMOCRATS SILENCE YOU?"
The mailout by the North Carolina Republican Party asks for "immediate action" to "ensure your right to securely vote Absentee."
"The irony is very thick and definitely not lost on me," one voter who received the brochure told CNN.
Trump has previously also said that using mail-in voting is less secure than absentee voting, even though the two terms refer to the same method of using the mail to deliver ballots.

I've read these "ballot requests" are from repukes.
Why these folks haven't been remanded to live in cages is beyond me. 
Yeah, I would want my voter identification and signature going thru the mail on a freakin' post card 
Needless to say, that one went straight to the recycle bin
