Hopeful, but don’t get cocky. Every able-bodied Trump supporter should vote in person as close as possible (depending on state) to election day IN PERSON in order to minimize the dem time opportunity for “missing” ballots.

WHAAAAT??! How on earth does delaying your vote until the last minute help combat fraud?

Each election, I and 100's of thousands of other volunteers do GOTV (Get Out The Vote) campaigns, literally up to 15 min before the polls close. We are handed frequently updated lists of registered GOP voters + Unaffiliateds who we have solid evidence are closet-GOP or GOP-leaning, and who the County Clerk indicates have yet to turn their ballots in.

There are huge numbers of people who wait til the last minute to turn in their mail-in ballots (COLO mails ballots to everyone), and phone calls help very little because close to elections maybe 5%-10% of people answer unrecognized calls.

And it takes a lot of time to contact these people by walking door to door.

So the procrastinators inflate the size of our lists to the point where we can only reach a fraction of them.

I can't tell you how disheartening it is to reach some conservative mother at home an hour before the polls close, to be told that, "Yeah, I planned to take my mail-in ballot in today to fill it out in person, but one of my kids is sick & hubby's out of town, so I guess not this year". (And no, it's illegal for a non family member to go pick it up).

I want to tear my hair out when that happens!
