This is not a good trend. We should have a flat compensation for college athletes that cover their expenses.. nothing more.

Oz is a conman. You can see it in his face. Fetterman may have major issues but he is a good person.

I don't think we've even seen a candidate be up by 200-500k votes in a state and come out the loser the next morning. The reason for that is b/c we've never had universal mail in voting before.

How could anyone vote for Fetterman after watching that debate? I like the guy, but he is not fit to serve in the US Senate.

I think we all have to admit, the amount of votes tallied after polls closed were more than we've ever seen before, especially in WI, MI, PA, and AZ. We're talking swings of close to a half a million votes in some cases.

With an absentee ballot, you provide information, you sign a form, and they mail one to you to fill out. It is uniquely tied to you and your name and signature is associated with the vote. You requested the ballot and turned it in. This is fine and has been a common practice for years for those who are out of state or medically unable to vote. There is also the no-excuse category, which again, I'm fine with, but it follows the same process but there is no actual reason other than convenience for this service. This is ok.
What is not ok is universal mail in ballots, where they are sent to every single voter. This sounds good on paper, right? But it has a lot of issues associated with it.
Because of widespread inaccuracies in a state’s voter registration records, a state that sends ballots to all registered voters will inadvertently send ballots to persons ineligible to vote or others with fake registrations, invalid registrations, outdated registrations, and to the deceased.
Furthermore, with this type of carpet-bomb approach, it lends to ballot harvesting which if you are unfamiliar is the practice of collecting ballots from large groups of people and submitting them en-masse, often times empowered by political candidates and in doing so alter the legitimacy of those ballots.
There is a reason that no industrialized nation condones universal mail in ballots. This is not just a democratic or republican issue; this is an issue that impacts all of us.

Yes, idiotic comparisons generally do.
You realize checks have identifying information on them, correct?
These universal ballots do not.

You are delusional if you don’t see the issue with a. Universal mail in ballot. What im saying is there is a reason why no other developed country allows for it.
Absentee ballots that are requested are not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about the 2020 universal mail in ballots. The pandemic is over, it’s time to go back to the previous system

Of the 47 countries in Europe, a staggering 46 require government-issued photo IDs for in-person voting. The only exception is the United Kingdom, where a photo ID is required for national elections in Northern Ireland but not for Scotland, Wales, and England. Both Canada and Mexico require a government-issued photo ID. Mexico goes a step farther by making its ID biometric with both photo and fingerprints.
European, Canadian, and Mexican absentee ballot laws are much more restrictive than ours. None automatically sends absentee ballots to all registered voters.
You know why? Because In doing so you open your election to fraud.

Absentee ballots =! Universal mail in ballots.
Simply put, it’s like a blank check that can be falsified, duplicated and corrupted.
Absentee ballots are requested for each voter. These are fine. It’s the universal ballots that are prone to fraud
