What do you mean ‘argue with them’? You act like this is ok. It is not. I’ll argue if it comes to my state...Do you think this is ok?

I am just providing accurate and supported information on the subject of this thread. It is reportedly legal for one to change their vote if they follow the procedures set forth in the law/regulations in these 7 states. I think it is a good safeguard concerning early absentee voting and later outcoming info on candidates.
But the other post said Ted Cruz inexplicably says otherwise.
According to voting laws in Connecticut, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, New York, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, if you change your mind on who you wish to vote for, you can have a do-over. SHARE IT AROUND

Fake news...as far as Pennsylvania is concerned. No do-overs once your ballot has been mailed.
The lists of states that include Pennsylvania are inaccurate because they are based on 2016 info. Up until November, 2019, Pennsylvania had only absentee voting and not mail-in voting and the absentee ballots for a precinct were supplied to the Precinct election judge in an envelope along with other materials the day before the election. Absentee ballots were opened and fed into the tabulator at poll closing in each precinct. If someone who had sent in an absentee ballot wasn’t absent from the municipality as palnned, they could show up and have their absentee ballot “spoiled” and could vote in person. The election laws were changed in late 2019, authorizing mail-in voting. Another change was that both absentee and mail-in ballots were no longer sent to the individual precincts, but to the central county election office. Once a voter mails-in a vote, it now cannot be changed. If the voter has requested/submitted a mail-in ballot, it will be shown in the pollbook as such, and that person will not be allowed to vote in person. If the voter’s mail-in ballot has not been received by the time the pollbook is printed, it will be noted that they have received and not returned their ballot and they will be allowed to vote a provisional ballot. If, during the canvassing process, it is determined that the voter’s mail-in ballot was received after the printing of the pollbook, the provisional ballot will be discarded and the original mail-in ballot will count.
Haven’t read the article or the comments...but heard about this crap on Rush’s show this morning and I say bullshit to it. You casted your ballot you live with it. NO CHANGING IT. WTH? When did this become a ‘thing’? We’ll never have ‘settled’ elections if this becomes acceptable.
Agree, and as I pointed out, in Pennsylvania you cannot change your mail-in ballot once you’ve sent it, as of Nov 2019. Some people are referencing some 4 year-old articles to spread bad info.
In a number of states your early vote can be withdrawn
But you can withdraw your vote in many states
How do they find your already submitted ballot after it is separated from the outside envelope, which is the only place the voter is identified?
The ballot does NOT have your name or any other identifying information. That is why we call it “secret” voting system. When I mailed my absentee ballot, only place where my name appears was the outside envelope.
Once they remove ballot sheet from the outside envelope, there is no way to know which ballot paper sheet was yours. So how is your old vote removed?
The news has reported that there i-s a bar code on those balllots in the states that allow vote changing
My take is that the votes can be changed as per the democrat fraud unit wants
when the ballot is removed it is checked off the list the list of your vote.
How do they find the ballot, was my question. Our election s are supposed to b e secret. That is why the ballot sheet has no identification of voter’s name or identity.
So again, how do they know which ballot was mine from the stacks of ballots?
What you said is possible only if the vote processors never open the outside envelope. But then when would they open millions of mail-in ballots? On election day? That would surely cause a gargantuan delay in counting votes.
