2. Republicans are projecting again

The most outrageous recent fraud involving mail in ballots was in NC, when Republican operatives went around to the homes of elderly people to "help" them vote, collecting the ballots afterward.

They finally got caught and they will go to prison.

Voting fraud that has been caught has been overwhelmingly on the Republican side. Here in NM, where the last GOP governor squandered money on an investigation because she was absolutely convinced there was massive voter fraud going on. She found four cases, 3 Texans and all 4 were Republican. I've never seen a loudly trumpeted investigation buried quite so fast by anyone else.

You can be convinced that anything they accuse us of is being done by them.

3. Somehow......

i manage to pay my taxes, register my cars, handle my credit cards and bank accounts on line and through the mail, but they can’t handle mail in voting?

My absentee ballot said that if I made a mistake on it, don’t try to erase or correct, just call them for a new ballot. That’s because there is a unique registration number embedded in each ballot to make sure no one votes twice. Had I requested a new ballot, the computer program would have been set to not accept my first ballot if it were sent in.
So no, idiot Don, I couldn’t have made 30 copies and sent them in. Well, I could have but none of them would have been counted and I would get a court date for my stupid effort.
