Mitt Romney counters Trump: 90 percent of 'very Republican' Utah votes by mail
The Hill ^ | 05/22/2020 | BY ZACK BUDRYK

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) pushed back against President Trump’s claims that voting by mail disadvantages Republicans, noting that large numbers of voters in Utah, a Republican stronghold, vote by mail.

"In my state, I'll bet 90 percent of us vote by mail. It works very, very well and it's a very Republican state," Romney told reporters on Capitol Hill Wednesday, according to ABC News.

Much of the Western U.S. has voted by mail for years, and a poll released Wednesday found residents of those states are among the demographics most likely to say they would prefer to vote by mail rather than in person. Nevada’s state Republican Party is currently running Facebook ads encouraging voters to mail ballots in ahead of the deadline.

Trump, who voted by mail himself in Florida's primary this year, has stepped up his attacks on mail-in voting, threatening to withhold federal funds from Michigan after its secretary of state announced all voters would be mailed an application for an absentee ballot. Trump initially wrongly described the state as mailing out “absentee ballots” before deleting the tweet and posting a new one describing them as “applications.”

Trump sent a similar tweet about Nevada, where all active registered voters will automatically receive a mail-in ballot ahead of the June primary.

Nevada Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske (R) also pushed back, saying in a statement, "Secretary Cegavske lawfully declared the 2020 primary election as a mail-in election," according to ABC News.

"Nevada has many safeguards in place to ensure the integrity of an all-mail election, including signature requirements and verification processes, preprinted ballot return envelopes, barcode tracking, and laws against ballot harvesting,” her office added.

It works very, very well and it's a very Republican state

Dear Mitwit: of course it works very well in a very Republican state (or voting district or precinct). It's Dem states, districts, precincts that concern HONEST people.

Is this guy as retarded as his position on this?

"It works very, very well and it's a very Republican state," Romney

If the people counting the mail-in votes are honest then I am sure it does work well.

What party is in control of all major cities in this nation?

.........
If you figure the whole state’s square mileage, yes. But over 3 million people are jammed into the Salt Lake metro area. The rest is hills, desert and rocks.

Yes, looking at it that way. Here in AZ, more than half of our population is in Maricopa county. I just wish all the Dem voters would move back to Cali or the Midwest where they came from. That includes some relatives. LOL!!!

Well, that explains how Mitt gets elected.

That says it all. Mail in ballots will get you a RINO sometimes rather than a leftest. Same thing.
