Mail-in-ballots are not a problem, right?

We all better hope this is not a close election because if it is it will be like a BTO song “you ain’t seen nothing yet...”

Somewhere, I read that the margin of "win" has to be 5% for it to not be contested.

And you thought 2020 was a shitshow...

From the same article:

Voters are allowed to cancel their absentee ballots and then vote at polling places as long as their ballot hasn’t yet been received by election officials. It’s unclear whether the voters under investigation attempted to do so.

Also from the same article:

The process of checking and canceling absentee ballots for voters who came to polling places on election day sometimes broke down.

Voting records weren’t always updated, or poll workers weren’t able to get through clogged phone lines to confirm that an absentee ballot had been returned.

“During the primary election, we could not reach anyone for hours on election day. We had no choice but to have the voter sign an affidavit and let them vote,” said Todd Faircloth, a Fulton County poll worker.

County election officials stopped people from voting twice when election records showed absentee ballots had already been received.

Also worth noting that the voting system is designed to catch such instances of fraud and in fact did so.

So yeah, George, it doesn't seem to be a problem, in this case anyway.

Still probably a bad idea for Trump to encourage double voting in NC. Wouldn’t you think?

The mail in voting shit show will be upon us and then we will know why it was a bad idea.

But it’s an assist for Biden.

What is the option?

If you think the other guys are stealing votes you better have a few extras in your pocket.

Neither side can ease up on this.

Steal every vote you can and let the courts sort it out.

PS I understand that isn't very nice

Or if you want to point to fraud as a reason to disqualify or ignore a whole class of votes, better make sure you create some first.

The only way to have a safe and fair election is to wait until there is an effective and proven vaccine...

You just might see Trump declare that there is indeed an effective and proven vaccine before Election Day.

Let’s just make stuff up as we go along to get the desired outcome.
