There will be no changes to how we v**e. There has been absentee v****g - by mail - forever, so what difference will it make if a few more people mail in their b****ts? What you are really complaining about....................is the effort to get more people to v**e.
If I had MY way, it would be mandatory for every eligible v**er to v**e every time, no opt outs.
SADLY, YOU ARE WRONG! There is a HUGE DIFFERENCE between absentee v****g which has been around a long time & is NOT BEING DEBATED & this NEW Democratic push for "Mail-in-V****g", which has little or nothing to do with the wuflu v***s!
With absentee v****g you are REQUIRED to REQUEST an Absentee b****t & (hopefully) your v***r r**********n is checked at that time, if you ARE NOT a registered v**er, they WILL NOT send you an Absentee B****t. This has been a fairly safe method of v****g for invalids, foreign residents & our military stationed abroad. NO ONE is proposing to change this.
With the new push for "Mail-in-V****g", in the states that have or WILL APPROVE it, a b****t is SENT to everyone who can be determined to be of v**er age, usually by driver's license rolls. NOT ONLY JUST to REGISTERED V**ERS, but to EVERYONE, there is NO WAY to determine if this person is a Registered V**er or not, in some states, no way to determine if this person is EVEN a LEGAL US CITIZEN!
Even if sent only to REGISTERED V**ERS, many states have NOT updated their v**er rolls for many years for
deaths, address changes, etc. With absentee b****ts BY REQUEST, you eliminate this problem. It is NOT as you state "the problem of a few more people mailing in their b****ts", it is a potential problem of THOUSANDS of ineligible v**es!
I don't agree that it should be MANDATORY to v**e, but it would probably be a good thing if more of our citizenry DID V**E! But that is the beauty of our present FREEDOMS, we ALSO have the freedom to NOT do something if we so desire!
I fully realize that the Left will not or does not agree with these arguments, they probably even KNOW it is true, but their EXTREME push for more Mail-in-V****g reveals that they at least THINK it will be TO THEiR ADVANTAGE, otherwise you would NOT hear a peep about this issue!
If you can stand in line at Walmart, Home Depot & your local grocery store, you can do your PATRIOTIC DUTY & stand in line at a polling place! Otherwise, you can REQUEST an ABSENTEE B****T!
