    The Democratic governor of Kentucky and the Republican Secretary of State have agreed to a plan for the November election that includes no excuse absentee ballots and 3 weeks of early voting, including Saturdays.

    Kentucky has always required strict rules for absentee ballots and has never had early voting.

    Republicans are not against voting by mail, I know it's all over the news, but heavily misrepresented. The actual objection is sending ballots to everyone without verifying voter eligibility, having third parties pick up ballots, aka harvesting, and getting rid of signature verification.

    Cool that explains why they put someone with special interests in charge of the post office, limited duty hours, are removing sorting equipment and mailboxes, and have demonized mail in voting.

    Edit: oh I also forgot they totally passed the election security bill and kept the FEC untouched and also totally accepted the CARES bill that would fund the post office.

    Get the fuck out.

    Likewise, I’ve never heard Dems call for these items, but please do not go on

    I can easily suggest that Dem controlled states conspired to suppress votes via mandate by closing down locations where normally voting happens. Schools and churches. Makes just as much sense.

    And I don't know how you never heard of it until just now, democratic governors are literally passing these measures almost on a daily basis.

    Sure you can easily suggest it, but you'd be making shit up.

    Whereas Trump literally admitted to it.

    I'm done engaging with you guartz. You're a bad faith arguer who is only allowed to stick around without a ban because you're just smart enough to say and do all the right things but frankly I see right through your shit and I'm sick of it.

    You take a policy disagreement about an 11th hour change to our election system and turn it into a conspiracy and I'm the bad faith arguer.

    1. Trump believes that the USPS is losing money because it delivers packages for Amazon below cost. USPS makes money on packages, including Amazon. It loses money delivering letters at a flat rate because stamps cover both inter-neighborhood and cross-country freight. But changing flat rate postage for letters doesn't stick it to Bezos who is richer than Trump and runs the nasty WaPo.


    2. Trump wants to fund USPS in the next relief bill if Democrats will approve some of his priorities. Since the USPS is established by law, demanding concessions to keep it functioning is not a legitimate bargain. What if Joe Biden demands concessions to honor the Hyde Amendment in return for overturning Citizens United?

    sending ballots to everyone without verifying voter eligibility
    Except ballots wouldn't get sent to everyone they would get sent to people verified eligible at their registered address.

    having third parties pick up ballots
    If only there was a government funded institution that could handle pick up and delivery of the ballots. HMMMM

    and getting rid of signature verification
    I have heard literally nothing from the Democrats about why this is necessary and I'm going to attribute it to you pulling crap out of your ass to make it seem like you have a non-existent point.

    California's original suggestion for vote by mail included sending ballots to unregistered voters, republicans balked with Trump criticizing it and the language was changed which led to a bipartisan support and the bill passed.


    Here is a group in PA trying to get rid of signature verification
    https://www.post-gazette.com/news/po...s/202008070140


    Here is an NPR article talking about other lawsuits to change signature verification
    https://www.npr.org/2020/06/01/86504...enge-old-rules

    "Dozens of lawsuits have been filed so far, with Democrats seeking to remove mail-in voting restrictions that they say are burdensome and unconstitutional, and Republicans trying to preserve laws they say protect against voter fraud."

    Maybe just google shit before calling me a liar?

    Did you read your own links?

    The suit, filed by the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania, the Urban League of Greater Pittsburgh and two individual voters, seeks to force election officials to give voters the chance to fix ballots that are either missing signatures, or where there’s a perceived signature mismatch. The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, also names Allegheny County as a defendant.

    No where does it say get rid of signatures in the article.

    You are right, it's my interpretation. Without expanding the cutoff dates, which probably won't happen. Should the lawsuits be successful it ends signature verification. Without doing it in person there is no other logistical way of doing it.

    You know that signature verification is a fucking joke, right? People who do it for a living need at least 10 samples to account for normal variations; what makes you think that untrained poll workers can do it with two? It is a stupid argument made by stupid people.
