    The topic is not how incapable you imagine black people are. They can do, what other races can manage, too!

    You have made the choice to obstruct another's right to vote. You must make the accomodation to protect their right.

    This is about voting by mail. You know, like Trump. Stay on topic.

    Are you required to go to the polls or vote by mail or can you just shout your vote and expect it to be counted?

    All rights are subject to regulation. When that regulation interferes in a right without a compelling public interest the regulation is illegal.

    Given there is vote by mail in every state your objections are without merit as is your analogy.

    This is about voting by mail. Try staying on topic.

    Topic is about voting by mail. You know like Trump. Are you saying Black people can't be trusted to vote like Trump?

    We honestly fear voter fraud.

    Yes, you do have "increased participation" when the vote of a non-US citizen is able to be counted in multiple states.

    It has nothing to do with voter fraud. Every republican administration that comes into office of late, sets up his little vote fraud commission......and finds nothing. There is no organized wide spread voter fraud, except on the part of republicans in the Carolina. So, voting by mail is SAFE. It’s a federal crime and ballots can be contested by either party. Your asteroid is grass if you’re not eligible to vote and you intentionally commit fraud and get caught. It’s hard enough for many to vote, why Effin cheat for just one vote and take a chance on committing a felony and losing some of your-rights for the rest of your life ? Only a fool would intentionally commit voter fraud.


    Republicans just don’t want people to vote. The higher the turn out, the more liberal the vote tends to be. The GOP is an apartheid style government meant for the ruling minority of the wealthy and anyone who can be convinced that trickle down works, which seems to be a lot of fearful working class. Mail in Ballots are an excellent way of allowing everyone equal access. Until we have a national holiday for voting for everyone to get off work, and an equal number of polling places per capita, we need the the option of mailing FOR EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY DURING A PANDEMIC. Even in the best of times, the in-firmed and those stationed elsewhere from our voting precinct need the mail in option.

    So a right is not a right? You ignored my comparison. Where does the Constitution say that the right to vote shall not be infringed? It does say that we are allowed to vote. Qualifying yourself as an adult American citizen is a reasonable expectation. As you said "all rights are subject to regulation ".

    That's exactly what you did while claiming blacks are too incompetent to take care of their personal responsibilities and must be coddled.

    I do tend to ignore stupidity rather than respond.

    And where does it say you are required to possess a particular form of ID or be denied a right?

    Except you have shown no obstruction it's no different than other rights you have. Where does the Constitution grant you the right to vote by mail and without having to identify yourself?

    Never said it. But then when did any Trumpinista consider truth an important part of a discussion?

    Another canard. Why do you claim it has to be organized and widespread to change the outcome of an election and disfranchise legal voters?

    Nothing but. Try working on comprehension. Better yet, try working on the truth. Remember this, despite what Trump tells you, TRUTH IS NOT A CONCEPT.

    Try to stay on topic.

    If Trump can vote by mail. Trump who admitted fraud at Trump-U. Trump who admitted fraud with his charity.
    If you can Trust Trump to vote by mail why can you not trust people who you have no reason to suspect?

    Please explain why it's OK for you to vote by mail but not for me.

    Texas state law for one. I never said it was federal law, but it's not a bad idea. Where does the Constitution forbid it? Where does the Constitution grant all "all people" the right to vote. My Constitution says that right is for CITIZENS and can't be denied because of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. According to section 2, I'd say that requiring proof of citizenship is appropriate in this day and age of overnight worldwide travel and millions of illegal immigrants within our borders.

    15th Amendment
    Section 1

    The right of CITIZENS of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

    Section 2
    The Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

    I couldn't say. There is little doubt that mail voting would be easier to defraud but we do it now for out of state people. I don't have a problem with it but I don't take elections as seriously as most people do.
