@Mike Simpson - The video is bogus, not how mail in voting works. First, you only get a ballot if you are on the registered voter list. In some states, five I believe, it is mailed to you automatically. In mine I have to fill out a form, mail it to the Elections Supervisor who sends me a ballot with a return envelope. I complete the ballot, seal it in the envelope which I must sign and must have noratized if I do not qualify for vote by mail automatically. Yes, It is possible to mail a bunch of ballot , but you have to print them and if they don't match the voter registration list they will be discarded and may be referred to law enforcement because each illegal ballot cast is a felony.
@@StoryGordon Is that why I got a Ballot in the mail for my father who moved out of this address more than 10 years ago and now lives on the opposite side of the country?
@@micahdunham7874 - If you voted it you are a felon. Your supposed to mark it "Refused" or "Moved" and put it in a mail box. I don't know where you live, but government agencies, especially at the county level do not have the resources to micro manage systems. We want low taxes which means they are underfunded. If he registered to vote in his new county the voter registration form he completed probably has a place for him to inform his new county where he was registered before. Also, the counties I know mark the envelope with a "Do not forward" notice. I recently moved here from another state and noted my former address on the form, but they have not informed my former county. The question remains, how much voter fraud exists? Very little.
You can thank whatever you want then, because you don't live in the USSR. You live in a first world democracy that has systems in place to prevent voting fraud.
Voting by email is the best way to allow fraud! I guess it is a tactic to de legitimate the election as Newsome know there were a lot of non voters that voted in 2016. Democrats will push that it is their only way to rig and fraud the election 🤣
@@MichaelGrey11 IF you will not be in town to vote, have a medical reason you cannot go to the polls AND have done the paperwork to have an absentee ballot mailed. You do NOT have the right to demand that millions of dollars be spent to mail everyone a ballot. They messed up so bad with the stimulus checks eventhough it was right after a census and you think they can a ballot mailing right? 😅
The line up of draconian ruled states pushing for mail in voting during this pandemic is impressive, and should immediately alert the rational American to know that your safety and liberties are NOT their motives.
I participated in my county's 2020 mail in ballot processing. Before the ballot is opened the signature on the ballot envelope is compared to the signature on file to be sure it was a match. It almost always was; the few times it wasn't, those were put aside for further processing (which I was not involved with so I can't speak to what happened then). Sometimes it was simple mistakes: a married couple "John Doe" and "Jane Roe" would accidentally sign each other's ballot envelopes, or someone who was extra-concerned about their security refused to sign the envelope so there was no signature to compare.
Most voter fraud occurs in the back side of counting, not people who fill out ballots. The price for voter fraud is high, and the outcome of a single vote is low. While try to mess with votes going in when it's easier to lose ballots in droves or just gerrymander your way to fraudulent non-democratic wins.
@Samsan TheProdigy - They aren't, at least not in large numbers. Every ballot is checked against the voter registration list. One vote per name is allowed. Two or more and all get set aside. The amount of voter fraud, mail in and in person is small and those caught have committed a felony for every instance. Trump thinks more Democrats than Republicans vote by mail, Watch the Republican governors who support it.
@Samsan TheProdigy - It may be important to note that most claims of voter fraud by voters are made by those in a loser's campaign, that Trump did not win the popular vote. Also, none of the fifty state Secretaries of state, most of whom are Republicans, have made a claim of significant fraud.
Seriously? Voting by mail? In the Netherlands you HAVE TO show up in person in order to vote. 1 other person can ask you to vote for them, but in that case you have to show the passport of this person at the voting booth. Yes, one can mail in votes from abroad only if they have a good reason, like military or business abroad. Than again our voting rolls or rather register of citizens is kept up to date every year. When you have ballots of people who have moved or died, what happens to these ballots? The only way I could see voting by mail could work is to send a copy of your passport or ID-card along with the ballot.
@@patriciaikeda2608 The Democrats are a bunch of corporate globalists pandering to the commies. We have them over here too, but we have a multi-party system, so the ideology is more thin spread. The problem with this is that it is very hard to form a coalition. Anyway, to say poor people can´t afford an ID is ludicrous. One can make up a system wherein when you are below a certain income the government will provide an id for you. Yes, the taxpayer would pay this, but I guess most comon sense people will be glad to pay such a small price for fair elections.
We've been voting by mail in Washington State for a long time, and Oregon for even longer. Turns out it's the best way to vote, so of course some will try to block it.
@@superdoglover5676 There is no "one-party state." The signatures on the ballot are matched to the signatures on file for the voter. Voting by Mail has the lowest incidence of voter fraud, which in itself is negligible in the United States.

Oregon. Yes I really like voting by mail even though I’m republican. Lol how weird is that. But I don’t know what to believe about it. It does seem sketchy to me.
J C It was just last week in Oregon, where they took ballots out of the curbside boxes and marked tons of them for Democrat when they were really Republican. You can’t trust them.
Anyone that can feel safe enough to wait in a grocery line or at walmart is able to feel safe enough to go vote in person. The people don't feel safe excuse for mail in voting is ridiculous. Those same people go to walmart everyday.
When I worked for the state and people were coming in to the state from another state to get their DL, they had the opportunity to register to vote at the same time. If they lied on the question "were you registered to vote in another state?", the new state would not report to the prior state to cancel that person's registration to vote so that person could theoretically be registered to vote in their old state and new state
Well, did you vote in the last few elections? you in a democrat state so if you were a democrat they would never kick you off.. TALK TO THE DEMOCRATS ABOUT THAT... but if you reside in two states, that is a problem too...
I don’t like how there’s been cases of ballot harvesting (paying people to request ballots). I agree for emergencies and for service members, otherwise, I’m against it.
Mail in voting provides a perfect tool for foreign interference in our elections, given how easy it is to vote fraudulently with mail-in. They won't have to bother with high tech or social media interference.

Agreed, it doesn’t seem to bad on the surface but seeing no one talk about any possible flaws and seeing democrats supporting it completely is very concerning
Time to do some research. There are no Democrat and Republican identifying qualities. We're all different and make no pledge to issues. In my state the voter registration form doesn't ask for your political affiliation.
It's strange isn't it? A majority of the elderly vote Republican, yet they are against mail in voting while Democrats are for it. Are a majority of the elderly all voting by absentee? Is there fraudulent activity there? Why do the Democrats want it so badly? Will it enable non-citizen fraudulent voting for Democrats?
@@paulknebel5726 - Good questions. Many seniors vote Republican because they remember earlier times and forget that their Social Security checks and Medicare coverage were created by Democrats. Some of them, especially the white elderly, still believe the racism of their youth is still valid.

Heed Jimmy Carter on the Danger of Mail-In Voting ‘Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud.’ By John R. Lott Jr. Posted By Ruth King on April 11th, 2020 ‘Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud.” That quote isn’t from President Trump, who criticized mail-in voting this week after Wisconsin Democrats tried and failed to change an election at the last minute into an exclusively mail-in affair. It’s the conclusion of the bipartisan 2005 report of the Commission on Federal Election Reform, chaired by former President Jimmy Carter and former Secretary of State James Baker III. Concerns about vote-buying have a long history in the U.S. They helped drive the move to the secret ballot, which U.S. states adopted between 1888 and 1950. Secret ballots made it harder for vote buyers to monitor which candidates sellers actually voted for. Vote-buying had been pervasive; my research with Larry Kenny at the University of Florida has found that voter turnout fell by about 8% to 12% after states adopted the secret ballot. You wouldn’t know any of this listening to the media outcry over Mr. Trump’s remarks. “There is a lot of dishonesty going on with mail-in voting,” the president said Tuesday. In response, a CNN “fact check” declares that Mr. Trump “opened a new front in his campaign of lies about voter fraud.” A New York Times headline asserts: “Trump Is Pushing a False Argument on Vote-by-Mail Fraud.” Both claim that voter fraud is essentially nonexistent. The Carter-Baker report found otherwise. Intimidation and vote buying were key concerns of the commission: “Citizens who vote at home, at nursing homes, at the workplace, or in church are more susceptible to pressure, overt and subtle, or to intimidation. Vote buying schemes are far more difficult to detect when citizens vote by mail.” The report provides examples, such as the 1997 Miami mayoral election that resulted in 36 arrests for absentee-ballot fraud. The election had to be rerun, and the result was reversed. There are more recent cases, too. In 2017 an investigation of a Dallas City Council election found some 700 fraudulent mail-in ballots signed by the same witness using a fake name. The discovery left two council races in limbo, and the fraud was much larger than the vote differential in one of those races. The case resulted in a criminal conviction. It is often claimed that impossibly large numbers of people live at the same address. In 2016, 83 registered voters in San Pedro, Calif., received absentee ballots at the same small two-bedroom apartment. Prosecutors rarely pursue this type of case. Mail-in voting is a throwback to the dark old days of vote-buying and fraud. Because of this, many countries don’t allow absentee ballots for citizens living in their country, including Norway and Mexico. Americans deserve a more trustworthy system.
Nope. Thats why Oregon is down in the dumps leftist, anarchist already. Vote harvesting by DemocRats, no voter ID needed by DemocRats, no signature matching allowed by the DemocRats.... this is what happens in 3rd world!

Trump has said that vote by mail is unconstitutional that's funny considereinh that Trump has publicly stated that he has voted by mail in a lot of elections. So if vote by mail is unconstitutional then why has vote by mail been legal since 1775.
How do you ensure people don't vote multiple times? Like mailing in a ballot and then voting in person? Will your in person ballot require an identification number on the ballot? Can these be matched up quickly on election day or will our elections span weeks during this verification process?
•By matching on personal identifiers •See above •Not on the booth ballot - if someone tried to vote twice, the in-person ballot would be accepted and the mail-in (with identifier attached) would be rejected •This is a good question, and will vary state by state. However the time spent must ultimately be weighed against potential lives lost if we don't fully encourage mail-in voting. Also, note that while double voting in a jurisdiction is prevented by these measures, voting in multiple jurisdictions can be tougher to prevent because there's no central voter registry. However some states do audit collaboratively. Relatedly, see www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/voter-list-accuracy.aspx
we could all direct vote on everything by tomorrow, we could vote by sending a millisat from a bitcoin address, this would be the most secure way to vote known to man at this time. We would also all have access to the transaction history on the blockchain to audit and make sure there is no double spending/voting

We must all agree that the only way to vote is IN PERSON, at the polls on voting day. And DO NOT fill in the ballot you received on the mail and just drop it off. Go into the voting booth and manually enter your choices. It seems too easy for the system to somehow manipulate paper ballots.

That is why absentee voting exists...for those who will be absent during an election. These expansions do make things easier...easier to lose ballots...easier to miscounted ballots...easier to fraudulently cast votes for the dead, the felons, and those who have moved.

Wow, it's _almost_ as though allowing more people to vote allows the voters to vote in who they want to have instead of the Powers That Be decide who are the Powers That Be!
No problem with "REQUESTED" mail ballots. Just mailing a ballot to the address of all registered voters is NOT ok. Especially at neighborhood or apartment multi-box units where unwanted/unrequested mail is simply thrown into a nearby trash can or onto the ground.
Mainly due to the chance that bias will effect how people vote. Say a state votes very high for the yellow candidate and is released that yellow has won a high value state. This may dishearten people who would vote for a purple candidate in another state so dont vote or make some one who is for the yellow candidate be over confident and so not vote on the day.
Apples are not oranges: www.dailysignal.com/2020/06/22/8-key-points-to-distinguish-absentee-and-all-mail-voting/. Educate yourself and know the difference. What kind of a person uses a funeral for his political gain. We are all saying to delay the federal election until a time when the usa is opened and everyone can vote in person. Why can you ask someone if they voted in person. But, you cannot ask if a person has participated in a riot.
But there are ways to vote by mail without having to rely on the Postal Service to return your ballot. You could call it a hybrid process of receiving a ballot early through the mail and then returning it in person, before Election Day.
I live in one of the states that primarily uses vote by mail. I do love the convenience of not having to go to a polling place. Another thing I really enjoy is the ability to take my time and research any issues or candidates at my own pace. There are convenient methods of tracking my ballot to ensure it was received. Overall, it is fantastic and I wouldnt want to go back to in person voting. Just my 2 cents.
It’s nice that it works for you and you have no doubts that your vote is verified and counted properly. Other people don’t have your pleasant experience. Some are coerced by their spouse to vote a specific way. Other mail in ballots just disappear (Broward County Florida) There are illegal individuals voting using fake SS numbers or names and numbers of dead people. Blue states are notorious for REFUSING to clean up their voter rolls. Los Angeles had to be sued to get them to clean up the rolls. Why take that chance?
If most people wouldn't send cash in the mail, why would they trust literally tens of millions of ballots that are easily identifiable to not be tampered with? Democrats think the electorate are blooming fools!
piece keeper they would trust it because every single creditable source there possibly is, even Fox News, has said voter fraud by mail is exceedingly rare. So I guess most people trust credible sources.

I however realize that chain of custody of ballots is not continuous in mail in ballot. I can't imagine that it is good. But I also believe that viring machines cannot be trusted either.
What she mean about terrible mail service in some community's? It's funny every time they rank goverment employees forest rangers and postal employees rank at the top. To bad our government leaders are always at the bottom.
How about we switch to direct voting from Bitcoin addresses? Give every U.S. Citizen a bitcoin address to vote from and a few dollars, then we can cast our votes to candidates by sending a millisat. Problem solved, democracy reinstated.
These people who are talking must have the ability to breathe and a beating heart. Thus they apparently alive, a clear indication that they have most likely visited a grocery store or restaurant. lately. The most secure way to HANDle an election is to keep the most number of HANDS OFF THE BALLOT after the vote has been cast.
No one loses their chance under current "voting booth" elections. Absentee ballots are in place...to "expand" these rules leaves every voter at risk of being nullified by fraud.
In light of the debate and controversy of mail ballots vs in-person ballots, we need both and the important goal is that every vote should be counted correctly. There are many reasons why votes do not get counted correctly, such as mail fraud, USPS mail delivery Failures, failure of registered voters who automatically receive mail ballot not to request a change of address when they move or die, failure of the mail ballot to have a signature or ink entered scanned by the software program and every election has votes due to errors not being able to count votes. First, everyone who can, should vote in person and vote early for better results. If you must or want to vote by mail, be sure your voter registration card address is currently correct, especially if it is mailed automatically for every election. Then, follow it up with your county elections office that it was received and counted correctly or vote by mail and follow it up with in person vote because the in-person vote will supercede the previous vote so that each vote is counted correctly or if you can't vote on election day in person. In the state of New Jersey, there was a state investigation that uncovered votes by mail, but when the registered voters were contacted, replied they never received the mail ballot. Then, there are many failures in USPS mail delivery service in many cities that receive bad mail delivery service all year around. There are many reasons. Many reasons are not stated here. Each voter needs to do their part to ensure their vote is counted correctly.

You conveniently left out the fact that cases of suspected fraud in vote-by-mail states are still so very low that they are inconsequential, having no effect on the outcome.
What if the pandemic is extreme during that period? In-person only voting is asking for trouble in November. Just give people the option that best suits their situation.
Timothy Wong You’ve been manipulated for political gain. The cruise ship study, the Stanford study, and the University of Southern California study all prove that the numbers and models have all been wrong regarding the virus. And let me ask you this.

How do you think people can survive for 7 months without being able to go to work? Why couldn’t people wear masks and gloves to go vote? The truth is that the Democrats want mail in voting, so they can cheat because they can’t beat President Trump honestly.

@@bambiforester2580 I'll wager you're disinterested in having a true discussion about the merits of mail-in voting. No, I'm not at all suggesting that society and the economy stay closed until November. Obviously, the failure of small businesses and unemployment are an equally troubling issues that can impact the public, especially the poor and most vulnerable. However, it's not as simple as open everything all at once. A more nuanced approach that weighs risks and gradually re-integrates public gathering is the wisest move. Mail-in voting has a role in protecting the most susceptible, most-ill and most immune compromised. The video points out why mail-in only does not work for areas where mail is unreliable. However, no one should have to die to cast their vote. For all the far right talks about sanctity of life, I wish they would embrace that value now.
Timothy Wong No, Timothy, I’m not disinterested in discussing the topic. You shouldn’t assume. But first, I just want to respond to your idea of opening up the economy slowly. Numerous studies have shown that the models used regarding the virus are wrong. The cruise ship study proved that months ago. At this point, the economy needs to open because the stress of no income is endangering children’s lives as well as their parents. It’s a dire situation for many families. The USC study proves that the infection rate of the virus is more similar to the common cold than a deadly virus that kills millions and millions of people as we’ve been led to believe. As far as mail in voting, your very dramatic statement that no one should die to cast their vote comes directly from the Democratic propaganda machine. I don’t know how you can regurgitate that statement with a straight face. So please explain to me how someone is going to die for having to cast a vote? Then we can continue our discussion. Thanks 🙏🏻
@@bambiforester2580 I'm sure you've seen reports and footage of primary voting this spring. People waiting in line for hours, collected together, with diminished processing and capacity due to ill or absent poll workers. There were also fewer polling locations available to voters. This experience of being cooped up next to other waiting voters is especially dangerous to cancer survivors, people with respiratory illnesses, the elderly, etc. By standing next to other sick (but asymptomatic) people or carriers, at risk people may very well die from the experience. More likely, due to concern for their health, these people may stay away from the polls entirely. Either way, limiting options for these vulnerable people could likely effect the election. Also, just because the projected models are incorrect does not mean that the opposite is true. It means we don't have enough information. That should encourage leaders to take time and caution to make thoughtful choices. As well, it's possible that social distancing is having an intended effect. With more than 44,000 people dead already, this is not like the common cold. Those numbers that people cite are often for the year. This has been a few months only.

@Mike Simpson - The video is bogus, not how mail in voting works. First, you only get a ballot if you are on the registered voter list. In some states, five I believe, it is mailed to you automatically. In mine I have to fill out a form, mail it to the Elections Supervisor who sends me a ballot with a return envelope. I complete the ballot, seal it in the envelope which I must sign and must have noratized if I do not qualify for vote by mail automatically.
Yes, It is possible to mail a bunch of ballot , but you have to print them and if they don't match the voter registration list they will be discarded and may be referred to law enforcement because each illegal ballot cast is a felony.
Thank You ! Me Neither ! Especially Thiese Pirates !
@@StoryGordon Is that why I got a Ballot in the mail for my father who moved out of this address more than 10 years ago and now lives on the opposite side of the country?
@@micahdunham7874 - If you voted it you are a felon. Your supposed to mark it "Refused" or "Moved" and put it in a mail box. I don't know where you live, but government agencies, especially at the county level do not have the resources to micro manage systems. We want low taxes which means they are underfunded.
If he registered to vote in his new county the voter registration form he completed probably has a place for him to inform his new county where he was registered before.
Also, the counties I know mark the envelope with a "Do not forward" notice.
I recently moved here from another state and noted my former address on the form, but they have not informed my former county.
The question remains, how much voter fraud exists? Very little.

The line up of draconian ruled states pushing for mail in voting during this pandemic is impressive, and should immediately alert the rational American to know that your safety and liberties are NOT their motives.
Exactly!!!
I'd love to hear how they verified every mail in vote.
I participated in my county's 2020 mail in ballot processing. Before the ballot is opened the signature on the ballot envelope is compared to the signature on file to be sure it was a match. It almost always was; the few times it wasn't, those were put aside for further processing (which I was not involved with so I can't speak to what happened then). Sometimes it was simple mistakes: a married couple "John Doe" and "Jane Roe" would accidentally sign each other's ballot envelopes, or someone who was extra-concerned about their security refused to sign the envelope so there was no signature to compare.
Signature matching.
I’d also love to hear their reasoning for not allowing someone to apply for a gun permit by mail?
They throw out the republican one's. They keep just enough to make it look good just like in 2020 and what the liberals will try to do again in 2024.
But if you protest and vote then it's safe🤣🤣🤣
Most voter fraud occurs in the back side of counting, not people who fill out ballots. The price for voter fraud is high, and the outcome of a single vote is low. While try to mess with votes going in when it's easier to lose ballots in droves or just gerrymander your way to fraudulent non-democratic wins.
Opinions are free. Where's your evidence?
@Samsan TheProdigy - They aren't, at least not in large numbers. Every ballot is checked against the voter registration list. One vote per name is allowed. Two or more and all get set aside.
The amount of voter fraud, mail in and in person is small and those caught have committed a felony for every instance.
Trump thinks more Democrats than Republicans vote by mail,
Watch the Republican governors who support it.
@Samsan TheProdigy - It may be important to note that most claims of voter fraud by voters are made by those in a loser's campaign, that Trump did not win the popular vote.
Also, none of the fifty state Secretaries of state, most of whom are Republicans, have made a claim of significant fraud.
Seriously? Voting by mail? In the Netherlands you HAVE TO show up in person in order to vote. 1 other person can ask you to vote for them, but in that case you have to show the passport of this person at the voting booth. Yes, one can mail in votes from abroad only if they have a good reason, like military or business abroad. Than again our voting rolls or rather register of citizens is kept up to date every year. When you have ballots of people who have moved or died, what happens to these ballots?
The only way I could see voting by mail could work is to send a copy of your passport or ID-card along with the ballot.

@@patriciaikeda2608 The Democrats are a bunch of corporate globalists pandering to the commies. We have them over here too, but we have a multi-party system, so the ideology is more thin spread.

One can make up a system wherein when you are below a certain income the government will provide an id for you.

Only way to avoid fraud in voting by mail is to give up anonymity. What happens when they start targeting voters because they don't like your choice.? And how will this effect us going paperless?

This country need to vote through the Blockchain. Once a vote is on the Blockchain, it can’t be altered. Nobody is looking into this.
When I worked for the state and people were coming in to the state from another state to get their DL, they had the opportunity to register to vote at the same time. If they lied on the question "were you registered to vote in another state?", the new state would not report to the prior state to cancel that person's registration to vote so that person could theoretically be registered to vote in their old state and new state
That's why states had an inter-state voter registration information sharing pact. Until Republican politicians left it recently.

Time to do some research. There are no Democrat and Republican identifying qualities. We're all different and make no pledge to issues. In my state the voter registration form doesn't ask for your political affiliation.
It's strange isn't it? A majority of the elderly vote Republican, yet they are against mail in voting while Democrats are for it. Are a majority of the elderly all voting by absentee?

Heed Jimmy Carter on the Danger of Mail-In Voting ‘Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud.’ By John R. Lott Jr.
Posted By Ruth King on April 11th, 2020
‘Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud.” That quote isn’t from President Trump, who criticized mail-in voting this week after Wisconsin Democrats tried and failed to change an election at the last minute into an exclusively mail-in affair. It’s the conclusion of the bipartisan 2005 report of the Commission on Federal Election Reform, chaired by former President Jimmy Carter and former Secretary of State James Baker III.
Concerns about vote-buying have a long history in the U.S. They helped drive the move to the secret ballot, which U.S. states adopted between 1888 and 1950. Secret ballots made it harder for vote buyers to monitor which candidates sellers actually voted for. Vote-buying had been pervasive; my research with Larry Kenny at the University of Florida has found that voter turnout fell by about 8% to 12% after states adopted the secret ballot.
You wouldn’t know any of this listening to the media outcry over Mr. Trump’s remarks. “There is a lot of dishonesty going on with mail-in voting,” the president said Tuesday. In response, a CNN “fact check” declares that Mr. Trump “opened a new front in his campaign of lies about voter fraud.” A New York Times headline asserts: “Trump Is Pushing a False Argument on Vote-by-Mail Fraud.” Both claim that voter fraud is essentially nonexistent. The Carter-Baker report found otherwise.
Intimidation and vote buying were key concerns of the commission: “Citizens who vote at home, at nursing homes, at the workplace, or in church are more susceptible to pressure, overt and subtle, or to intimidation. Vote buying schemes are far more difficult to detect when citizens vote by mail.” The report provides examples, such as the 1997 Miami mayoral election that resulted in 36 arrests for absentee-ballot fraud. The election had to be rerun, and the result was reversed.
There are more recent cases, too. In 2017 an investigation of a Dallas City Council election found some 700 fraudulent mail-in ballots signed by the same witness using a fake name. The discovery left two council races in limbo, and the fraud was much larger than the vote differential in one of those races. The case resulted in a criminal conviction.
It is often claimed that impossibly large numbers of people live at the same address. In 2016, 83 registered voters in San Pedro, Calif., received absentee ballots at the same small two-bedroom apartment. Prosecutors rarely pursue this type of case.
Mail-in voting is a throwback to the dark old days of vote-buying and fraud. Because of this, many countries don’t allow absentee ballots for citizens living in their country, including Norway and Mexico. Americans deserve a more trustworthy system.
Nope. Thats why Oregon is down in the dumps leftist, anarchist already. Vote harvesting by DemocRats, no voter ID needed by DemocRats, no signature matching allowed by the DemocRats.... this is what happens in 3rd world!
If u hate voting expansion...u support voter suppression

Only way they could get Trump out
the good point is how reliable is the mail service and what if people want to go to booth and vote essentially voting behavior
Trump has said that vote by mail is unconstitutional that's funny considereinh that Trump has publicly stated that he has voted by mail in a lot of elections. So if vote by mail is unconstitutional then why has vote by mail been legal since 1775.
How do you ensure people don't vote multiple times? Like mailing in a ballot and then voting in person? Will your in person ballot require an identification number on the ballot? Can these be matched up quickly on election day or will our elections span weeks during this verification process?
•By matching on personal identifiers
•See above
•Not on the booth ballot - if someone tried to vote twice, the in-person ballot would be accepted and the mail-in (with identifier attached) would be rejected
•This is a good question, and will vary state by state. However the time spent must ultimately be weighed against potential lives lost if we don't fully encourage mail-in voting.
Also, note that while double voting in a jurisdiction is prevented by these measures, voting in multiple jurisdictions can be tougher to prevent because there's no central voter registry. However some states do audit collaboratively. Relatedly, see www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/voter-list-accuracy.aspx
@andro You still give your name/address, which is a unique key. This is how absentee voting already works.
we could all direct vote on everything by tomorrow, we could vote by sending a millisat from a bitcoin address, this would be the most secure way to vote known to man at this time. We would also all have access to the transaction history on the blockchain to audit and make sure there is no double spending/voting

Lives lost? Are you serious? You need to stop 🛑 drinking the MSM’s kool-aid. The numbers for the virus have been manipulated for political gain. The cruise ship study, the Stanford study, and now the University of Southern California study all prove that the models and the numbers regarding the virus have been wrong! Mail in voting, or online voting is just another attempt by the Democrats to cheat in our elections.
Literally every state already has a system for this.
So, your neighbor's ballot accidentally shows up in your mailbox. You KNOW your neighbor is going to vote for Biden. Do you give your neighbor the ballot? Do you think your neighbor would give you your ballot?
What were the conclusions of the commission led by ex-president Jimmy Carter? Are those conclusions still valid today?

It's not a debate. Its not happening.
We must all agree that the only way to vote is IN PERSON, at the polls on voting day. And DO NOT fill in the ballot you received on the mail and just drop it off. Go into the voting booth and manually enter your choices. It seems too easy for the system to somehow manipulate paper ballots.

No problem with "REQUESTED" mail ballots. Just mailing a ballot to the address of all registered voters is NOT ok. Especially at neighborhood or apartment multi-box units where unwanted/unrequested mail is simply thrown into a nearby trash can or onto the ground.
why does this sound like giving Trump an excuse for losing the election ahead of time ?
Why don't they extended the period of voting so the numbers spread out?
Mainly due to the chance that bias will effect how people vote. Say a state votes very high for the yellow candidate and is released that yellow has won a high value state. This may dishearten people who would vote for a purple candidate in another state so dont vote or make some one who is for the yellow candidate be over confident and so not vote on the day.

But there are ways to vote by mail without having to rely on the Postal Service to return your ballot. You could call it a hybrid process of receiving a ballot early through the mail and then returning it in person, before Election Day.

Overall, it is fantastic and I wouldnt want to go back to in person voting. Just my 2 cents.
It’s nice that it works for you and you have no doubts that your vote is verified and counted properly. Other people don’t have your pleasant experience.

Mail in ballots can't be verified, so those states that allow it automatically need to be re-evaluated.

No one loses their chance under current "voting booth" elections. Absentee ballots are in place...to "expand" these rules leaves every voter at risk of being nullified by fraud.

In light of the debate and controversy of mail ballots vs in-person ballots, we need both and the important goal is that every vote should be counted correctly. There are many reasons why votes do not get counted correctly, such as mail fraud, USPS mail delivery Failures, failure of registered voters who automatically receive mail ballot not to request a change of address when they move or die, failure of the mail ballot to have a signature or ink entered scanned by the software program and every election has votes due to errors not being able to count votes. First, everyone who can, should vote in person and vote early for better results. If you must or want to vote by mail, be sure your voter registration card address is currently correct, especially if it is mailed automatically for every election. Then, follow it up with your county elections office that it was received and counted correctly or vote by mail and follow it up with in person vote because the in-person vote will supercede the previous vote so that each vote is counted correctly or if you can't vote on election day in person. In the state of New Jersey, there was a state investigation that uncovered votes by mail, but when the registered voters were contacted, replied they never received the mail ballot. Then, there are many failures in USPS mail delivery service in many cities that receive bad mail delivery service all year around. There are many reasons. Many reasons are not stated here. Each voter needs to do their part to ensure their vote is counted correctly.

@@StoryGordon How are you going to prove who sent it in?? Thats the flaw with this mail in voting, how do you prove who is who? And if the Democrats are soooooo worried about Russia, this should be alarming for them. But its not about Russia is it?
@@patriciaikeda2608 - People have been voting by mail since the Civil War. Trump votes by mail. Why is he concerned?. Voting by mail is done in every state under the auspices of their Secretary of State , most of whom are Republicans. Elections are administered at in more than 3,000 counties, each one with a system for registering and tracking voters. You get to vote once. If a second vote appears, neither one counts.
This concern about mail in voting is a bogus issue.created by those who use it with confidence to alarm those who use it and are susceptible to believing people in power always tell the truth.
The system is sound and has been for a century and a half. For proof, try to find credible evidence that it is not.
18 USC 1703 Destruction or delay of mail
I came for a debate, and what I got was a pitch. Whatevs
5:00 this guy should def rethink this look lol
Trump says mail in voting is bad but absentee voting is good, but they’re the same thing. The terms ‘mail-in’ and ‘absentee’ are used interchangeably. Trump himself has voted by mail.
Mail in bad full fraud
Good for us lazy people
Good for busy people, too.
Will USPS be getting a bailout?,
THEY GOT A BAIL OUT... EVERY YEAR THE USPS ARE IN THE RED... THEY NEED NEW MANAGEMENT..
In the now proposed $3 trillion bailout, the post office is up for $25 billion.
Trump is trying to destroy the Post Office just because of Vote by Mail.
If we can lake it to walmart, EE can golf bote in person.

I have been voting at home mail in ballot sense 1980 and I'm going to continue to do it or I will not vote the lines were to long worked full time busy tired it was the only way with my schedule and my 3 kids in San jose,ca
Oh Wall Street Journal - shame on what you've become. Not possible to take anything you say seriously. I remember when reporter OPINIONS on facts were kept to themselves and they reported facts, not below average IQ opinions. Wheres the other side of the story?
How about the fact that we received mail-in ballots for a family member who passed 10 years ago and another for the owner of our home from 20 years ago! This after our system was supposedly cleaned up years ago. This is questionable and should be reviewed with an honest lens.
Doesn't matter. If you complete it and mail it in you have committed a felony. Call your election office and report the error.
@@StoryGordon How are you going to prove who sent it in? How many times were both of those ballots counted in last elections?

@Samsan TheProdigy So the question I have to ask, is why the states are suddenly defensive under federal scrutiny. I have worked in auditing and when your numbers are OK and systems in place, nothing to hide.
Why the push for mail in ballots last minute?? You could say COVID but it seemed premature. Then the mail box stuff that was debunked. Also now democrats are hinting they won't cede to election results. It all seems very fishy.
Even Democrats are finding this fishy where I live.
‘Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud.” That quote isn’t from President Trump, who criticized mail-in voting this week after Wisconsin Democrats tried and failed to change an election at the last minute into an exclusively mail-in affair. It’s the conclusion of the bipartisan 2005 report of the Commission on Federal Election Reform, chaired by former President Jimmy Carter and former Secretary of State James Baker III.
You conveniently left out the fact that cases of suspected fraud in vote-by-mail states are still so very low that they are inconsequential, having no effect on the outcome.
What a sham ! Clean voter roles ha!
Let each states decide it on its own.
That's how it has been from the beginning.
What's the problem?
ballet harvesting
How Bout ..........NO ! No Mail in Voting At ALL !
If vote by mail is voted into law, a whole new for of government will take over the country.
NOPE. Too much room for something to be meddled with... Walk down the block to your polling station. It's not that far.
What if the pandemic is extreme during that period? In-person only voting is asking for trouble in November. Just give people the option that best suits their situation.
Timothy Wong
You’ve been manipulated for political gain. The cruise ship study, the Stanford study, and the University of Southern California study all prove that the numbers and models have all been wrong regarding the virus.
And let me ask you this. With your logic, are we all supposed to stay locked in our houses indefinitely? November is 7 months away, are you suggesting that we all remain in our homes until then? How do you think people can survive for 7 months without being able to go to work? Why couldn’t people wear masks and gloves to go vote?
The truth is that the Democrats want mail in voting, so they can cheat because they can’t beat President Trump honestly. Joe Biden is suffering from mental decline; and if that isn’t crystal clear to people yet, the debates will expose that reality. Mail in voting will corrupt our election, so don’t be fooled. 😉
@@bambiforester2580 I'll wager you're disinterested in having a true discussion about the merits of mail-in voting.
No, I'm not at all suggesting that society and the economy stay closed until November. Obviously, the failure of small businesses and unemployment are an equally troubling issues that can impact the public, especially the poor and most vulnerable. However, it's not as simple as open everything all at once. A more nuanced approach that weighs risks and gradually re-integrates public gathering is the wisest move. Mail-in voting has a role in protecting the most susceptible, most-ill and most immune compromised. The video points out why mail-in only does not work for areas where mail is unreliable. However, no one should have to die to cast their vote. For all the far right talks about sanctity of life, I wish they would embrace that value now.
Timothy Wong
No, Timothy, I’m not disinterested in discussing the topic. You shouldn’t assume. But first, I just want to respond to your idea of opening up the economy slowly. Numerous studies have shown that the models used regarding the virus are wrong. The cruise ship study proved that months ago. At this point, the economy needs to open because the stress of no income is endangering children’s lives as well as their parents. It’s a dire situation for many families. The USC study proves that the infection rate of the virus is more similar to the common cold than a deadly virus that kills millions and millions of people as we’ve been led to believe.
As far as mail in voting, your very dramatic statement that no one should die to cast their vote comes directly from the Democratic propaganda machine. I don’t know how you can regurgitate that statement with a straight face. So please explain to me how someone is going to die for having to cast a vote? Then we can continue our discussion. Thanks 🙏🏻
@@bambiforester2580 I'm sure you've seen reports and footage of primary voting this spring. People waiting in line for hours, collected together, with diminished processing and capacity due to ill or absent poll workers. There were also fewer polling locations available to voters. This experience of being cooped up next to other waiting voters is especially dangerous to cancer survivors, people with respiratory illnesses, the elderly, etc. By standing next to other sick (but asymptomatic) people or carriers, at risk people may very well die from the experience. More likely, due to concern for their health, these people may stay away from the polls entirely. Either way, limiting options for these vulnerable people could likely effect the election.
Also, just because the projected models are incorrect does not mean that the opposite is true. It means we don't have enough information. That should encourage leaders to take time and caution to make thoughtful choices. As well, it's possible that social distancing is having an intended effect. With more than 44,000 people dead already, this is not like the common cold. Those numbers that people cite are often for the year. This has been a few months only.
Did she really just say cheating is rare bwahaha. Not this year!
Are cases of fraud with mail in voting relatively rare because voting by mail is not the most common form of voting across most of the country?
Its not rare. Same news outlets reporting thousands of ballots not counted suddenly are all for it. Do you think thats a little strange?

I mean you can vote by mail in Canada and it's a really good system! Really easy and convenient! You have both options of voting in person or in by mail. Ther is actually more people that vote because of this because of the convenience!
TheGirlInTheStars
You have to consider the source. The Democrats in this Country have proven that they will lie and cheat to gain power. Because of that fact, you can’t compare our Country to Canada.
@@bambiforester2580 True I agree with you. It is really unfortunate that such a fantastic country has to be exploited and corrupted like that. The American people are really nice but their country is exploiting them and that makes me sad.:(I truly hope that it will somehow get better! :)
TheGirlInTheStars
Thank you! 😊
@@bambiforester2580 Yeah because its totally not the Republicans that keep getting caught committing voter fraud. It definitely wasn't Republican voter fraud that got so bad that an entire election had to be thrown out and redone.
@madcheeseknight It can be secure if the government wants it to be, all electoral systems are easily corruptible if the people in charge want it to be.
Stop mail ins voting 🗳, get off you couch and go vote 🗳 😤
The amount of dead bodies we have to step over to the polls is incredible! Those brave brave heroes!
I know who is making me risk my life and my family's to vote in a crowd, guess how that is going to work out for them.
You know the counter to this is you go shopping right? Wear a mask they work right? Still dont like that request absentee ballot. But stop pushing your fears on the rest of us.
Mail in ballots should only be used for a disability or armed service workers.
