NPR article today about how due to covid19, people aren't able to register to vote, and it could change the electorate. The article then goes on to explain that actually people can still register to vote, so I'm not sure what the point is. Its basically a hedge in case Trump wins, so that Democrats will be able to say they lost only because they weren't able to register voters. It's interesting, actually, and with crazy Uncle Joe for a candidate, I wonder if we'll start seeing more of this type of excuses making. We would have won if only......

This is part of their push for mail OUT ballots for everyone. They are selling it as mail in ballots, but that is already an option with absentee ballots. The difference is you need to register and request absentee. Mail out ballots would be a free for all, with no control over who is actually filling them out. Ballot harvesting would be rampant. This is Bidens only real chance of beating Trump. There's already reports of people receiving multiple ballots at their homes for people who no longer live at the address or have passed away. I saw 1 post where the dad received a ballot but the dad had passed away 10 years ago. I saw another where a person got 5 ballots for other people who lived at the address many years ago

It reminds me of the the Brian Kemp/Stacey Abrams thing in Georgia. All kinds of excuses about how the Democrats would have won, if only. What galls me is how their spin can even be taken seriously. I honestly don't think they even believe it and are know that they are trying to steal elections. Abrams tried everything from ballot harvesting, trucking in out of staters, holding key polling places open hous after the election was over, you name it she did it. Yet it was Kemp that was the bad guy in his elected Secretary of State who had removed dead people and people who hadn't voted in five years and failed to respond to mailed warnings. Nor was it ever reported that Kemp had recused himself prior to the election and that the election was overseen by the senior civil servent in the Dept a black female.

I assume they match up your name to a registered voter and to your home address. I don't see how there can be a mass fraud using these protocols.

I think it was MI that started mailing ballots already, and they were just mailing one to everyone on the voter rolls, including Grandpa that died 10 years ago.

Exactly, under existing rules with absentee balloting there is minimal risk of fraud. What the Democrats are pushing for, using covid as an excuse, is the mass mailing of ballots to folks who may or may not have any intention of voting. There is a considerably higher risk, almost a certainty of voter fraud with this proposal.
