Report Exposes Major Flaws in Mail-In Voting, Could Change Outcome of Election

If there’s one hard-and-fast rule that has been set for conservatives during the unusual 2020 election process, it’s this: Don’t step into the mail-in voting minefield.

There’s an official line that’s been set. Mail-in voting is terrific. It’s better than in-person voting, in fact. Why don’t we make it this easy all the time? It’s the greatest thing to happen to liberty and freedom since the Magna Carta.

Every time you express the slightest doubt about the mechanics of national mail-in voting and whether it could affect the results of the 2020 election, the soul of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. sheds a single tear in heaven.

For the humor-challenged, this is what the kids like to call hyperbole. I don’t feel bad engaging in it because, well, everyone engages in hyperbole when they’re talking about mail-in voting.

I’ve noticed a trend behind almost every argument I read on social media regarding the issue: If you aren’t making the most extreme case for your position, so extreme that it verges on self-parody, all the while claiming you absolutely know every one of the pertinent facts about the process and how they all line up in your favor, you’re doing it wrong.

Romney to NAACP: More States Should Implement ‘Safer’ Mail-In Voting

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government desperate Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.

To GOP:

Method 1 (preferred): Stop mail-in voting at all costs. Stop it through the courts,j if possible. End it. Terminate it with extreme prejudice.

Method No. 2: If Method No. 1 cannot be accomplished, then cheat, lie, obfuscate more than the Dems ever thought of. Do whatever it takes to win.

Oregon has had mail in voting for 20 years and look what happened. Permanent liberal government, a lesbian commie as governor, a wacko mayor in Portland intent on destroying the city, and that is just a start.

That alone should be enough for the GOP and other voting rights groups to sue to revoke these “emergency” mail in voting laws.

Lots of stories on this today. Alarm bells ringing. This HAS to be a priority to stop at all costs.

It will change the outcome of the election. It will put a Democrat in the White House. Along with Democrats in control of both Houses of Congress. If you think that when that happens, life will continue as if before the Election, your heart is going to be broke. Once the Democrats a/k/a Socialists,consolidate their control, your bad just got a lot worse. And your life expectancy a lot shorter.

Last time I saw an NBA basketball game, Larry Bird was playing,.

Since then, it's been nothing but a bunch of 7-foot-tall felons jumping a foot in the air to slam the ball into the net. No skill whatsover.

Mail-in balloting can also hurt Democrats.
High rates of rejected absentee ballots could have a profound impact on the election. If Democratic voters use mail-in ballots more than Republicans they run the risk that more of those ballots could be rejected if they’re not received on time — which could be problematic for Joe Biden.

A hypothetical: a swing state where 42 percent of ballots are cast by mail. Biden carries mail votes 80 percent to 20 percent, while President Trump carries in person votes 70 percent to 30 percent. If every ballot were to count, Biden would win the state 51 percent to 49 percent. But if eight percent of absentees were ruled invalid for various reasons - and the invalidated votes were reflective of the overall absentee pool - Trump would win the state by two hundredths of one percent.
Any vote can be challenged and it becomes a provisional vote until its validity and authenticity is confirmed.
Ir will be up to Republican officials to challenge any suspicious vote, mailed or in person.
