Democrats' mail voting pivot

Democrats spent the early months of the coronavirus pandemic urging their base to vote absentee. But as threats of U.S. Postal Service delays, Team Trump litigation and higher ballot rejection rates become clearer, many are pivoting to promote more in-person voting as well.

If this a true story and I have no reason to doubt it, the only reason Democrats would do this is mail in voting must not be helping them...

Either Democrats are not sending ballots or Republicans are sending them in with unprecedented numbers...

They realize now that they won’t have a supreme court that will back unconstitutional efforts.

Fake News. The democrats need to delay the inauguration until after the scheduled date so they can remove Trump via the Constitutional requirement.

As predicted.

Democrats have been using Covid to scare people to the point Democrats are now afraid of going to the polls to vote.

Now Democrats have to convince their base the polls are safe.

Lots of scared and confused Democrats at this point.

Hoisted on their own petard.

no enthusiasm for Dementia Joe and in many states like FL, MI and others, no GOTV efforts or other campaign infrastructure let alone rallies.

old joe is relying heavily on the unions and the corrupt media to pull their base to the polls

Actually the word is out for Trump supporters to vote in person at the polls. I have already returned my absentee ballot back to my city clerk and will vote in person. I took election day off from both of my jobs.

It was never about people actually voting by mail, it was getting laws passed to accept counterfeit ballots weeks after the legitimate ballots have been counted so as to overturn the election results.

Now that the laws are in place to count fake ballots up to 17 days after the election so as to pad the required amount to over turn the legitimate results , they are seeking to get out the real voters in person to pad the exit polls and to provide the needed propaganda that the race is close, so to use as a threat they can win if people just wait for the forged ballots to be counted weeks later ,,, the last thing they want is to allow a trump landslide election night, Because by cheating weeks later they don't have to win, just be close enough to portray them as valid on the news cycle which will keep their militant base demanding to count every (sic) ballot .. don't know why nobody can see this Is the strategy

I wonder if they’ve decided that mail-in voting is too passive — and with conditions the way they are, it’s harder to bring groups to the polls early. So, there’s the risk that unless they amp up voting in person on election day, some folks just won’t.

“Either Democrats are not sending ballots or Republicans are sending them in with unprecedented numbers...”
****************************************************
Possibly. Also, I think that some states process the ballots as they come in but keep the accumulating vote breakout strictly confidential until after polls close on election night. Of course there would NEVER be corrupt DemocRATS in the bureaucracy who would pass on “how it’s going” to the DNC... would there. OF COURSE THEY’RE LEAKING LIKE SIEVES! And the DNC ADJUSTS accordingly.

I and everyone in my family — including two brand-new Republican voters, aged 23 and 20 — will be voting in person on election day.

I fully expect trouble at the polling place. I fully expect to be made to wait a long time to get in, due to "COVID restriction," and who knows what other nonsense.

Yeah it’s called the ‘California’ strategy. It’s worked like a charm here. Republicans can’t hardly get elected dog catcher anymore.

The democrats need as many as possible to vote twice.

Ping, you told me not to worry; you were right. Dems wouldn’t shift their focus if Mail In had been working for them...

Larry is (almost) always right.

Told ya AZ wasn’t in doubt. Two latest polls have Trump up and Maricopa County +57,000 MORE Rs than Ds in just the last couple of months. MC now is likely +4-5R.
