I'd challenge some of your points.
Voter ID laws are intended to be discriminatory and reduce voter turnout. In person fraud is ridiculously low, like less than 50 people caught in the last 20 years. Absentee ballots have always been more susceptible to fraud, bu the GOP had no problem with them until this year. Its unclear how they would expect citizens living in foreign countries to vote otherwise.
Accepting votes that are postmarked on or before election day should be accepted, regardless of when they are actually tallied. And efforts by the GOP to hamstring the postal service should be considered especially egregious.
How did the Democrats take advantage of covid? By increasing voter turnout?
This isn’t about Rep or Dem, it’s about secure elections. I want my vote to count. That’s all.
mail in ballots, especially after a deadline are not necessarily fraud, but it does open the door for suspicion and there is cheating.
there must be a deadline with no additional votes counted afterward.
How does an ID produce a smaller turnout? ID’s are not distributed by race or economic background. Anyone can get one. ID’s are available to everyone. If a person is determined to vote, getting an ID is not a problem. If someone is too lazy to get an ID, they aren’t that invested in voting.
The Dems used Covid as a way to use the mail-in ballot instead of in person voting. Again, this doesn’t necessarily mean there was cheating, but...
I just believe voting should be done in person and not on a hackable computer program. Mail-in and absentee ballots should be used for military, handicapped or in extreme circumstances.
for me, this isn’t about political party, it’s about fair elections. I’ve had these views for years, not just this year.
I can believe that Trump lost the election, but I’d like to be comfortable that he lost fair and square, that’s all.
