This makes me wonder if he actually wants to win the election.  

"President Donald Trump insisted on Tuesday that he was serious when he revealed that he had directed his administration to slow coronavirus testing in the United States — shattering the defenses of senior White House aides who argued Trump’s remarks were made in jest."

Holy [BLEEP].  Unbelievable. 

Wait.... I thought it was tongue in cheek? Lol

SMH.

So many times Trump's people have gone out on a limb for him, and he has sawed off that limb.  Here we go again.

The part in bold is the key thing.  When you request an absentee ballot you get it by certified mail which requires a signature.  Mass mailing ballots is not the same thing.  A mass mailing would include a ballot mailed to my staunchly republican neighbor that passed away last month.  The liberal that now lives at the residence would get it, fill it out with his/her choice (Biden LOL) then mail it back.  That's just one scenario that points out the flaw of "vote by mail".  There is no check or verification.

I vote by mail all the time and it's not certified mail.  I get a mail in ballot, which has to be signed by me, and they compare the signature on the ballot to the one they have on file for me.   When you say there is no check or verification, that is not true.
