    Depends on what you mean by mail in voting.. Absentee voting has been around for a very long time. You have to go to the town clerk and request a ballot and they check signatures at that time...

    Just sending everyone and anyone on the voter registration list a ballot is new and failed completely in places like New Jersey. It took a month to count the ballots for the primary and the Governor has decided that any in person vote will be provisional only. Now if you can wait in line for hours at the DMV why can you not vote in person ........... (crickets)

    I doubt you could find anyone even the most radical Democrat out there that could say with a straight face that the Voter Registration rolls are accurate.

    Civil War, actually. President Lincoln worked with Congress to get that in place.

    We didn't get a ballot. We received an invitation to request a ballot, and we did so. A friend screwed up her primary ballot, so she went in person to vote. They wouldn't let her, until she produced her invalid ballot. System worked fine.

    Bullcrap, mail in voting has been around for decades.

    The majority of PO box's which have been removed where during the Obama administration, there are very few left and they will be removed if the amount of mail placed in them drops to a pre-set number when the cost of collections exceed the need for the PO box.

    Not until the liberal leftist's needed the narrative to use as ammo to try to nullify a Trump victory, a narrative their mindless robots latched onto hook line and sinker.

    But their concerns are paper thin like their mindset and anyone with half a brain can see right through them.

    Are you speaking about in New Jersey? Again if so if you vote in the general election in person it will be provisional only.... If you dont have an issue with that i dont know what to tell you.

    Thank you.

    Not even on short notice on suspicion of unusual condition? I’m not trying to argue anything about this specific incident, but when I did maintenance at a nursing home (and I know, the private sector isn’t the public sector), when the state gave us several days notice of an inspection, departments would just clean up any known violations immediately, and just kind let it all slide back out of code after they left. They did, however, also have the option to give only 24 hour notice if they thought it justified (perhaps even no notice; I’m not sure of all those details), although it never happened while I worked there.

    My only real point, at this point, I guess is just that I’m surprised HCO&R doesn’t have similar authority over the USPS.

    LOL. Mail in voting has been a thing since the Civil War. I've pointed this out to every Trump fan bitching about how this year's election is going to be filled with fraud. I keep hearing, "It's not the same, it's not the same." So, I meant "it's not the same compared to this year."

    Cool. We agree on that, at least. Mail in voting has been around for 170 years. We'll be fine.

    Once again you either missed the point or are being deliberately ignorant, this is not about about mailing in ballots that where requested, what Trump and others are referring to is the wholesale mailing out of ballots that where not requested and that is ripe for fraud.

    Try to stay on the subject and cease diverting from it, you know that is wrong and fraudulent, but you continue to do it trying to support something you should know is not correct, or worse yet you support the idea of voter fraud knowing that is the only way your side can win the election.

    Perfectly happy what? I asked do we trust EVERY mail carrier as immune from being inticed, like in a bribe, into wrong doing with voter ballots and the handling of those ballots? I then pointed out their rare of cheating on overtime for money.
    Care to comment on that?

    I'm not a fan of that strategy, myself. My state isn't doing that. As far as I know, only 3-4 states are doing that. It really is up to each state to decide how they are voting in the election. I don't want to change that, either, so I don't see how anyone but the people in those states can fix it.

    This is another reason why the EC has to stay.

    If cheating is rare, than you really have nothing to worry about. I don't know what to say - see my post above.

    Obviously DeJoy, like Trump, has no political experience or skills. Bravo.

    Nursing home inspections, like OSHA inspections are sanctioned by law and have certain prescribed procedures and protocols, including prescribed situations where unannounced inspections might be in order. Inspections by congressional committee members have no such legal sanctions and procedures. That would likely be an infringement on the separation of powers.
