  1. Make sure that people that use absentee voting or vote by mail return their ballot ASAP, otherwise you run the risk of not getting your vote to be counted.

    1. Bucky Pinata You are showing your complete and utter idiocy. Any one who still supports an Un-American President like Donald Trump should be deported to Russia where they can be happier with an authoritarian regime.

  2. When things are at their worst, real Americans are at their best.
    Time to suit up, people. Let’s go!
    Biden/Harris2020
    Edited for clarification. Trolls be trolling.

    1. I’m with you, Richard.
      And to you ineffective trolls?
      Whatever…you and your pathetic excuse for a President are done.
      See you at the polls!!

  3. Reminder that the us processes 471 million pieces of mail everyday. The concerns are being overhyped to make you afraid to vote. Otherwise i don’t think the American president has a reason to question election integrity.

    1. Clearly you haven’t been paying attention, but that is to be expected of ignorant people who watch MSNBC. They like to keep your ignorant.

    1. The Doctor So you can’t have a civil discourse? It would seem to me you would like to make atleast one point to support your position. Guess not. I’d sure love to know why I, a US citizen should expect my ballot to be safe via mail. Seems like not the US is being divided by a lack of communication.

    2. @Frank Willis In my state they threw away about 10,000 votes last time. Because they were not filled out correctly. So yeah, some low IQ red voters.

    3. @Raging Monk Can you provide evidence that supports your claim that they were not filled out correctly? Either way, I wish you the best of luck in November.

    4. @Frank Willis It was what our board of elections said. I didn’t go look for myself. Don’t think I can go look for my self. lol

    5. @Raging Monk I’m sure you didn’t look, nor know anybody who did. Either way, “myself” is one word. Mensa candidate.

    1. The democrat voters should not be allowed to vote at all. While democracy is good, some people cannot see what is good for the country and elect the wrong candidate, causing harm to themselves as well as others who didn’t vote that candidate. Only those who can see through the lies of the democRats should be allowed to vote .

    2. “Decent” and “Democrat” do not mix lol. If you can’t see past your hateful feelings for Trump then at least vote for someone qualified – vote Jo Jorgensen!

    3. @Peter Robinson Only those who don’t believe in conspiracies and follow real, reputable news instead of fake news sources should be allowed to vote.

    1. @Sound Mind
      Mail-in voting began on Civil War battlefields. Women could not vote back then, so yeah. Election during civil war was mostly decided by mail.

  4. In my state Washington State we’ve always done mail-in ballots so it doesn’t matter if you can’t get there or not. And we’ve never had a problem. Also you cannot vote twice because you send it in and it gets scammed with your name on it that you have voted and there is a double check system so you cannot commit voter fraud. But with a president that thinks like a kid those are his childish thoughts.

  5. Watch out for Barr. He is conspiring with some Secretaries of State to mess with the ballots itself and the mail in system. Nothing Trump’s campaign tried so far has worked, so they are going to keep trying something more sinister.

  6. Right wingers have a point. For example: There was a large scale, ORGANIZED voter fraud in North Carolina just 2 years ago… It was done by GOP:/ Oops.
