And while cheating does take place it’s often difficult to prove. I would hope if Trump wins and the Rep hold the House and take back the Senate – voting law are looked at.



And in 2023...
Cant find cheating properly without the correct measures in place to verify voters are valid.

I'm registered Independent and have always voted non-party lines for who I judged was the best person for the position.

I voted in-person (2022) and in 2020 early voted by dropping off my ballot to the election office.
I've voted by mail in other years when I was not in state to vote in person.

I'm in favor of all controlled ways of voting, we need MORE voters to express their opinion.
U.S. percentage of voters is far below similar democratic countries voter percentage.
Yes! Election Day should be a federal holiday for that reason.

Regardless of your party, in our state it's all vote-by-mail. There are no places to vote in person. In fact the envelope is postage-paid, so no stamp needed, and you can just conveniently put it in your mailbox with the flag up or in the blue box.

It's actually harder for me to vote by mail than in person.

We don't get mail at our house. The post office is 2 miles away.

The firehouse where we vote is a quarter mile away.

Yeah, I know, what if I'm in a coma on election day? I'm voting in person as I always have, every May and every November.

Most anyone can do it with little exception.

I'm the exception.

Colorado.

They want us to use the drop box here.

I could mail it actually. I think that's what we'll do.

Still can't prevent ballot stuffing.

In person, early voting to avoid long lines.

Disclaimer I voted for mail in voting so I could see the poll. Take one vote away from mail in voting since I'm no longer a registered republican.
I'd bet few Republican votes that are mailed in get counted in the big blue cities.

I know the Pubs are pushing voting early & by mail. They point to bad turnout due to weather, illness, polling place issues, ect..

I do not trust the post office, so I will NEVER vote by mail. If I vote early, I vote at the County approved precinct, go inside and vote, or drop off a paper ballot inside their box.

I'm in Florida, & if I were in another state, that may change my voting habits.

I trust nobody, & I'm not so sure about the voting machines either.

I'm for paper ballotts, count by hand the old fashioned way.

I'm in Colorado. Unaffiliated, but I generally support Republicans these days, due to how awful the Democrat Party has become.

I get a ballot in the mail and I fill it out and drive it to the drop box at my county government building, since I don't want to add another potential point of failure by sending it through the actual mail.

I don't take advice from politicians about voting habits, so I don't really care if President Trump or the GOP are trying to get people to vote by mail. I'll vote using whatever available method I feel like using.

You mean since they started loving the kkk and using them as their militia arm or when they started loving slavery or before that?
