    Default So why is Trump and the right so against voting my mail?

    Contrary to Trump's undocumented blabling, there exists no study nor statistics that prove voting by mail leads to corrupt or measurable voting fraud. Currently five states vote entirely by mail, including ruby red Utah, and the vast majority of States have no excuse absentee ballots.

    Trump himself votes by mail, and the only real case of fraud involving mail in voting came from Republicans in North Carolina.

    So, to prepare for what might be an election challenged by the coronavirus, why would Trump and the GOP be so against funding now as a precaution to establish procedures and guidelines for a voting by mail in November?

    It’s going to be how we vote in the future. I guess you’ll be the one dealing with it.

    Because Voting by mail is ripe for voter fraud. Probably EXACTLY the reason the left is pushing it.

    Because anything that makes it easier to vote means more ppl will vote. When more ppl vote, (D)s tend to win. Hence the Conservatards' concerted efforts at voter suppression.

    I love voting by mail. I'm a perm mail voter.

    It's easy. That's why Trumpers don't like it.

    UNC used to play a style of basketball where they never tried hard to score, held the ball like 20 minutes
    to compress the game into as few possessions as possible. UVA does that now, sort of.

    It gives the less talented team a better chance of winning. Like team red.

    Instead of trying to have great ideas to sell their brand to more, they have decided to soil the game, depress the vote
    and pay off the officials.

    Agreed. I did it for decades since was never in the same state or country where I was registered to vote.

    FWIW, voter fraud is extremely rare and no Voter ID laws can stop absentee balloting fraud: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...-ballots-cast/

    Still, all of that said, absentee ballots are rarely counted unless the election is so close the number of absentee ballots would make a difference in the count.
