    This is an abomination that does nothing to promote confidence in our election systems.
    Absentee ballots ARE mail in ballots.

    California has processed only 74 percent of its ballots. Texas is still counting, so is Florida. But the winning margins in those states are already clear. This is easy information to absorb if you're willing to absorb it instead of feeding yourself on a conspiracy theory. Grow up.

    Not upset moron; I grow weary of dishonest clueless dumbasses like you asking painfully stupid questions over and over after I answer them.

    Now do the world a huge favor and fuck off and die.

    There is a legal distinction and an entirely different process to receive an absentee ballot. In order to get an absentee ballot you fill out a form and have the ballot sent to a different address than the one in which you are registered. Mail in balloting is a different animal, we use this method in CO... your ballot is sent to your registered address and you are expected to vote the ballot and either drop it in a drop box or mail it back. You do not ask for this to happen like I would for an absentee ballot... In fact in order to vote Absentee the same process still exists in Colorado... I would have to fill out the correct form and have the ballot sent to where I would be other than where I have registered and I would have to send it back.

    Because there has never been such a huge amount of mail-in voting in recent history.

    And the concept of "election night" is actually a recent invention. For most of American history, it took months to count all the votes.

    Yeah. All the fake ones started showing up around 3a.m.

    Reps make gains in House.
    The Senate holds.
    Trump gets 5mil more votes than he did in '16.
    Black and Latino voters show up big time for Trump.
    Hillary tells Plugs not to concede ahead of time, then thousands of late ballots appear...all for Plugs.
    But, we're to believe that Trump lost this election? No.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    No they are not you willful idiot. In order to get an absentee ballot you have to be a registered voter with a confirmed address and signature on hand and request the absentee ballot.

    Mail in ballots are sent out to residences regardless of whether that voter still lives there and can be filled out by anyone.

    Absentee ballots are also mailed, unless hand delivered. The point is they present same time consuming problem as other mailed in ballots. But the real question is why are you a willful idiot on what matters in this discussion. No one is stealing the election.

    Uh-huh. They all just magically appear in TWO DIFFERENT STATES at 3a.m.

    LIAR

    The Trump Administration has noting to do with counting votes, as you know.
    The bottom line is that conservatives cant admit to themselves the Evil they have allowed to romp on their watch.

    This is going to hurt.
