If reelected, former President Trump promises to ban mail balloting, allow only one day for voting and finish counting on election night.
He claims mailed ballots and extended voting periods are rife with fraud. But there’s no evidence anywhere of significant election cheating.
And it shows how out of touch he is with America’s voting systems.
Twenty-seven states allow what’s called “no-excuse” absentee voting, meaning citizens can cast a ballot by snail mail for any reason they want. Eight of these states, including California, Oregon and Washington, mail ballots to all active registered voters.
Every state permits some form of absentee voting.
Based on tabulations so far, roughly 88% of California’s votes in the November election were cast using mail ballots.
That percentage will probably rise when counting is complete.
California has warmly embraced mail balloting. In the gubernatorial election 20 years ago, only 27% voted by mail; 40 years ago, it was a mere 6.5%.
Even this state’s Republican leaders use mail ballots.
“I have voted by mail in California for years,” California GOP Chairwoman Jessica Millan Patterson told me in an email. “And each time, my ballot was received and counted. It’s easy, it’s convenient and it works for me.”
But Patterson led the California GOP when it and the national party sued to block Gov. Gavin Newsom’s executive order to send all registered voters a mail ballot during the 2020 pandemic. The suit became moot when the Legislature replaced the order with a law. She then promoted early voting using mail ballots.
“Voting by mail is only growing in popularity across our state,” Patterson emailed. “Democrats utilize this method effectively and have the results to show for it. Whether it’s voting by mail, voting early in person, ballot harvesting or voting on election day, California Republicans need to embrace that there is no right way or wrong way to cast a ballot…. [We need] to make sure no votes are being left on the table.”
Demagogue Trump isn’t listening. Severely scaling back voting options is part of his MAGA comeback platform.

Americans voting scares the entire Republican party
It's interesting to note that virtually no other country on the planet allows widespread mail-in voting or voting for weeks for an election...

This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.
People want mail-in ballots so they can sell them.
All voting must be in-person and same day.
