Should all US citizens be allowed to vote by mail?

[PolishHeadlock2]

So voting by mail is a big topic again due to social distancing guidelines as a result of COVID-19.

Recently Trump has threatened to withhold funding from purple states that are mailing out absentee ballot applications to all voters.



Even though he doesn't seem to have a problem with Red states doing the same thing.

Trump has also asserted that voting is an Honor/Privilege while Progressive maintain voting is a right.

In a way it is a privilege, of being an American citizen. If it was a basic right you wouldn't need to register.

So the party which promoted the false claim that voter id laws are racist for years, now are pushing for voting by mail?
What could go wrong?

Yes like the rest of the first world

most of the world thinks it's weird as fuck to vote without ID

It's up to the states. Some do allow anyone to vote by mail such as Oregon and Utah. Others only allow absentee ballots for specific reasons like being deployed overseas or medical conditions.

 

[DrunkZombie]

no. There are millions of non US citizens and illegal aliens who live in the US. They do not have the right to franchise.

 

[reveler]

why should you need an ID to vote? it's not like you need a birth certificate to be president.

 

[Social Distance Warrior]

this is the way I've voted in the last three elections. no issue thus far.

 

[BassAckwards]

no.... if people can get out of their house to go to a grocery store or walk their dog, then they should be able to go out and physically vote. voting imo is a sacred part of our political institution and should be done physically unless extenuating circumstances/physically not capable. the way i see it, if a guy at mcdonalds can leave his house to make you a burger wearing PPE, you should be able to go out and vote wearing a mask and observing social distancing.

 

[Orgasmo]

Yes, why do you need voters to be physically present and wait in line for an hour to cast a vote? they can just mail the checked ballot to you with proof of ID and get it tallied just the same.

 

[Oceanmachine]

Id rather have electronic voting on safe computers. Then mail ballots.

The Constitution I thought said states can decide. So let them decide how.

Lol at thinking voter fraud even exists

 

[zebby23]

Of course mail in ballots should be an option all the time. More people can vote, people wouldn’t have to waste time taking off work to vote and voter fraud doesn’t even exist so I really can’t think of many negatives at all

Republicans do worse when turnout goes up. That’s literally all any of this shit is ever about.

There is a saying, if 100% of the country votes their would be no Republican Party

proof of ID is racist AF

democrats literally won't allow ID's to vote...what does that say about them?

Its unnecessary and clearly a tactic used by the right to lessen voter turnout but it’s not racist. It’s anti low income
