    Are they not essentially early voting though? What would be the point of doing away with early voting while still allowing absentee ballots?

    They were originally meant for those who were physically unable to go in person or out of their area on election day. But as another poster pointed out (correctly) each state makes its own rules. Of course if the Feds wanted them more "uniform" they could skirt "states rights" using the old-fashioned tried and true method, "Of course you don't have to do it our way. Now let's talk about those highway funds....".

    I know their purpose, but in order for an absentee ballot it would have to be cast prior to Election Day. Given that is permissible, what would be the point in doing away with early voting? Both result in people making their decisions and acting on them prior to Election Day.

    Given the OP only seems concerned with the possibility of Biden supporters changing their minds, but being stuck, I’d say there’s some legitimate concern that they need to scrape up every vote they can manage for their guy.

    Smells desperate to me.

    A guy I know that is a democrat (ugh) asked me today if I voted yet for the Harris/Biden ticket. He is a client so I usually don't discuss politics with clients so I don't know if he knows I am conservative, but I started laughing because he put Harris first, turns out he did not do it on purpose, I thought he was trying to be funny, it was a Freudian slip for sure. He didn't even realize it. What does that tell you about what democrats think about Biden?

    Pathetic!

    It tells me that anecdotal stories hold no value to anyone other than the person telling them.

    That was a joke.

    But your guys did kill children, and you didn't answer my question. Did you enjoy it?

    You’re right in that I read your post, but what nerve do you suppose you struck?
    I don’t know what you’re saying sorry for, but what ever the supposed sleight, I don’t suspect you’re being genuine.

    Pandemic. This year is an exception. Deal with it.

    Plus, several states, including my own, have been doing mail-in only for years with virtually no fraud. I voted via drop box two weeks ago, and tracked my ballot online. My vote has already been counted.

    As someone in the virus danger zone as to age and compromising conditions, I'm really glad that I didn't have to risk my life in order to vote.

    Funny, I just went to the store, you could not tell a pandemic is ongoing, the activity level of people out living life looks just like it did 15 months ago.

    It was a joke. Like when Biden suggested if you don't vote for him, you aren't actually black? Like that kind of joke? So when you reference the baby killers and call the napalm employed that you blame for killing those kids as "a joke", is it? I mean, you seem to be indicating then that the reference about napalm smells like victory somehow justifies your use of the descriptor "desperation", well, that just doesn't seem to anyone as being funny, or ironic, or anything other than the back handed adoption of the very tactics that your team denigrated for decades. So, you enjoy your "joke". It will help frame you going forward.

    So, the answer is yes.

    But at least you have the grace to be embarrassed about it, that's good, isn't it?

    So you think folks would want to change their vote for Biden once they learned he might be corrupt...so that they can vote for Trump, who we know for sure is corrupt?

    If corruption was a serious enough issue for a person to want to change their vote, why would they change it to another corrupt person?

    Trump was cleared of corruption. Biden has not been cleared.

    Really? Trump was not cleared of anything. A Republican majority Senate refused to convict him. Everyone, supporters and opponents alike, know he did what he was accused of. They just split along partisan lines on whether he should be held responsible for it.

    And that's just one area in which he was corrupt.

    So I ask again, why would a person who considers corruption to be a vote changing circumstance then change that vote to another corrupt person?

    Juries need how many votes to convict for such crimes?

    Democrats never had a case. So the Senate swatted it down.

    Factually even in the House the Democrats had no claim. It was bogus and they are the only ones to make the bogus claim.

    You are making a good case to not vote for Biden. So you will sit this one out?

    I will repeat. The charge made vs Trump was not that he was corrupt, but he did this

    On December 10, 2019, Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee announced they would levy two articles of impeachment, designated H. Res. 755: (1) abuse of power, and (2) obstruction of Congress, in its investigation of the President's conduct regarding Ukraine.

    The charges did not pass the smell test of the Senate and in fact not even in the house. Democrats were the sole party to make charges.

    Nonsense. There was enough evidence that the president did what he was accused of. Even Republican senators agreed that he did it, they just didn't agree that he deserved to be impeached for it.

    Trial juries operate under different rules. Impeachment is not a criminal trial.

    I will be writing in Tulsi Gabbard. I will not vote for corrupt candidates. Can you say the same for your own standards?

    The smell test assumes politicians will vote objectively. Neither side is capable of that. But the willingness or unwillingness of a partisan political party to uphold objective standards does not change the guilt of the person in question.
