Agreed. Trump's handlers knew that Liberals prefer mail-in ballots and that they tend to sway elections to the Democrats. By creating a narrative that demonizes mail-in voting, and getting the FOX News, OANN, and Newsmax talking heads to "wash, rinse, and repeat" the talking point, you get people screaming that mail-in voting is fraudulent (except that Trump mails his votes, but that is safe).

Agreed, again. I am also a high risk category. The idea of going to a polling place or waiting in a line that would make patrons of Disneyland scream, I'll stick with my mail-in ballot.

Notice how the narrative changed. Trump screaming, "We won! We won!" the night of the election. All of a sudden, the mail-in ballots start coming in, "We won! All these voters are fraudulent. Voter dumping. Fraud."

Excellent. I wish all the states would go mail-in. Not only does it give voters a chance to review the blue books, it also gives them a chance to decide, discuss, and defend who and what they are voting for. I've had countless discussions with my wife and children regarding a specific law on the ballot. These discussions have made me or them rethink their vote. You can't do that at a polling place.
