So, if President Trump is re-elected, then the election was rigged, aina?

It's almost as if you were conditioned to come to that conclusion.

Outside of legitimate absentee voting, if a citizen doesn't care enough about the election to get off their ass and go to the polls, then maybe they don't value the freedom that comes with being able to cast a ballot. Mail-in voting serves one and only one purpose. That is to facilitate fraud, hey?

False. 

By the way if the federal government stands in the way of states executing their election it's just a disaster.  Congress should take this off the table as it would be a gigantic cluster.

Interesting.  Cite your sources to back up your claim that mail-in voting facilitates fraud.

Utah doesn't seem to have a problem with it, and they elect Republicans every single cycle.

But please, continue.

I wish I could say that I wanted to understand how someone could look at the dashboard above the Covid thread, read about the voting infrastructure available in densely populated areas, and come to the bolded conclusion. But I do understand, I just don't like the answer.

Nope.  You've been duped....again.

Maybe someday you'll wake up and realize that "voter fraud" is a red herring for "voter supression."

But I doubt it.

Depends on your definition of "rigged." Hacking voting booths, voter fraud, sending in a dead guy's vote? Absolutely not. Intentional voter suppression targeting traditionally liberal areas and demographics? Absolutely.

Nope, they happily live in the alternative facts world of the Bowling Green Massacre, and they like it that way. The real world is just a nuisance.

Did you even read the article?  It's the same quotes from the Iowa union lady.  And they "anonymous sources" admit that volume is down at their facilities and that the machines might not be needed at those 15 facilities. 

Alex Jones would be proud of the conspiracy.

Larry Kudlow this morning:

"So much of the Democratic asks are really liberal left wishlists we don't want to have — voting rights — and aid to aliens, and so forth. That's not our game and the president can't accept that kind of deal."

They're not even trying to hide it, are they?

Trump flat out told Fox that he doesn't want to fund the post office in order to prevent universal mail-in voting.    Which presents a dilemma since I just assume anything he says is balderdash.    Do I believe him, do I not believe him....?   conflicted.

I'm not shy about saying it. trump is a traitor and a criminal. He is actively trying to subvert the election.

Traitor.

There is a difference in voting absentee through the mail and sending a ballot to every registered voter.

The first is fine and has been done for years.  The latter would be so full of errors, mistakes and fraud, it's scary.

I vote absentee every election, but mainly because i dont want to stand in line with the plebs.

In states where they currently mail a ballot to everyone, like Oregon for instance, fraud hasn't been a problem.

But I do think that requesting a ballot to be mailed to you, which you can then mail back, isn't much of a problem and not too high a hurdle for someone to overcome.
