Yup, this is how they plan to win everything going forward.

I’m sorry but there should be NO Absentee voting allowed except for our Troops and CONFIRMED elderly confined to Nursing Homes.

That’s it .... show up to vote or you loose.

[Quickgun]

Yes, and we need to enforce that. Up to, and including civil war if necessary.

I wouldn't go QUITE that far. Not all legitimately mobility challenged folks are elderly or confined in nursing homes. But absentee voting 'just' for convenience should be limited. States cutting corners on Federal elections to save $ should be limited. If they'd spend for enough polling places they wouldn't have the long lines and repeated 'emergency' suits to extending voting periods. Federal elections are a constitutional requirement placed upon the states, they must budget adequately for it. It is more important than their salaries, pensions and pet projects.

One thing that might be mandated is that federal elections should be conducted in a way that results should be available in a timely manner, with auditable results (ie. a paper trail). If the state wants to run its own, non-federal, elections via mail, or to slow the voting process down with multiple local referendums and state mandated required documentation they may do so... on a separate election date. Their choice, their expense. Federal elections are too important to be left uncertain when any one state can't get its act together. They offer too tight a timeline to permit avoidable delays by one or a few states. Voting just for your one representative every 2 years, president every 4 years and a senator twice in six years can be done as quickly as the election monitors can validate your eligibility. With equally quick provisional ballots for those with questionable validation. At worst, when both senate seats were open, you'd have four boxes to check. If they can't figure out and remember which four before walking in the door I don't want them voting.

There will always be some unusually close races getting contested, but the system's design should provide believable results of election day voting in the vast majority of cases. Military absentee voting needs looser time limits than whatever is allowed for civilian absentee voting. Civilian absentee voting should be sufficiently limited so as to seldom delay final results. The cut offs for each should be designed to permit a timely transfer of power and not be overridden by judicial whim. For their own elections the states may screw thing up without federal interference, so long as the results don't interfere with the federal constitutional responsibility to ensure each state's citizens a republican form of government.

That’s it right there....post of the day. Nail, meet hammer.

“there should be NO Absentee voting allowed except for our Troops”

Uniformed, in-service military.

EVERYONE else, show with id and vote.

Sorry PDJT, we love ya, but no mail in ballots to FLA. ( maybe military exemption for you as Commander in Chief)

[Henry Hnyellar]

Going forward. Is there any other way to go? Or have you perfected time travel?
