A fair election would be one where every registered voter has to go to a polling location and vote.

About 25% of votes were cast by mail in 2016. I am guessing at least half of voters will continue to go to the polls even if they have a mail in option.

We already have a mail in option that is efficient. What isn't efficient is carpet bombing the whole country with ballots to millions of people that don't even want to vote. I didn't vote for years. Waste of resources sending them to me back then. Thrown in the trash or worse, someone knowing I don't vote and taking it.

It's anti-green. Waste trees, resources and my tax dollars. If I want the damn ballot I will request one.

I'm fine with that 25% using the same method they used last time.  I'm also fine with anyone who wants to follow the procedures their states had in place in 2016 for absentee and/or mail in balloting.

I’m fine with states allowing an expanded mail in option due to the pandemic. I don’t like the idea of sending every registered voter a ballot whether they asked for it or not. I do think states should offer no excuse mail in voting to any registered voter who wants that option.

Well that just makes you a liar, as usual. I did mention them and said I have not participated. Specifically because of COVID (well also I think defund the police is dumb).

More cases are meaningless.  A scare word used to rile up emotional fits in retarded hacks like yourself.  

I believe,  in person voting would cause less cases than protests, shopping and state lottery.

Based upon your article, this isn't true.  I don't want states deciding to send ballots out to people, unless those people ask for it and go through a process to confirm who they are.  I'm open to what that process entails but my priority is making sure the people who are filling out the ballots are actually the people registered to vote.  Blindly sending ballots to people is NOT the way to achieve that.

[Mike Honcho 4,037]

I updated my post to include two more states.  But since 4 states have been doing this successfully for years, why should they have to stop? 

And MOST states are doing exactly what you said, mailing out APPLICATIONS or doing the same Absentee Voting as before, with an added  Covid/no excuse exemption.  Where are you seeing otherwise?

Ditto.  If you want a ballot, you have to request one.  Simple.  Even if you have to put down an excuse, "COVID", should be perfectly acceptable.  Again, you should just have to request it.

How much more research do I need to do besides counting up to 26 states that meet the above criteria and reach a plurality?  

You were wrong, man up and admit it for once....or don't, we both know you were wrong, your last post is as big as a gun throw as we've seen in quite some time.

[TBayXXXVII 2,117]

For primaries, I see no reason why mail-in ballots are bad.  Don't care.  Everyone is voting for their own party.  Have at it.  That shouldn't be the case in the general election.  I'm not a fan at all of NJ doing it.  The problem I have with the whole mail-in ballots (non-absentee), is that states may opt to keep this in place well after this election.  I think it's a bad precedent to set.

This is dumb because it would never get past the Senate.  On top of that, the USPS has plenty of money on hand.  This is a pure publicity stunt.  It may backfire because she's willing to call them back for this publicity stunt but not to try to pass another stimulus bill to help Americans.  Shows her priorities.

Well yeah.  I think most people agree with that.  If you can't or don't want to go and vote (due to Covid or any reason really) then register for a ballot via mail. 

Whats nonsense is not having physical voting and deciding to mass send every person a ballot and go from there.  Holy shit show.
