Former President Barack Obama joined prominent Democrats arguing that the United States should implement a vote-by-mail option in the upcoming fall elections.“Let’s not use the tragedy of a pandemic to compromise our democracy,” Obama wrote on social media. “Check the facts of vote by mail.”Obama cited a New York Times story to defend voting by mail; the article quoted two of his former campaign employees, Amelia Showalter and Brian Dunn, who were in favor of it.“Everyone should have the right to vote safely, and we have the power to make that happen,” he wrote. “This shouldn’t be a partisan issue.”

Of course. Cheating is their main strategy and only hope this year. Just mail your ballot into a black hole and the Democrats will take care of it for you.

That settles it. If Barack is for it, it's not just a bad idea, it's a HORRIBLE idea.

Vote by mail should only be considered if the voter is willing to put his/her thumbprint on their ballot and encloses a copy of their ID.

Let’s not let the passions of the covid virus upset the standard voting process. We have voted without cars, without computers, thru a divisive civil was, thru two terrible world wars, and through the plague of the spanish flu, thru polio, through decades of.50k plus flu deaths..and we will be able to vote using our proven systems, where we know its weaknesses, through the overstated fatalities of this waning virus. I can’t imagine a system more prone to manipulation in a general election than mass mail in ballots.

Our rural precinct went mandatory vote-by-mail over a decade ago. The voting station is still set up in town. Since TK is the Election Inspector he takes in our ballots and puts them in the Big Box himself. Before he began those duties I drove our ballots into town. I trust the voting system in our small county, only 90,000 residents, but God only knows what happens in San Franschiffco and Lost Angels.

If this isn't proof that democrats want to engage in the worst kinds of fraud this November, I don't know what is. Obama is king of fraud and he never met a scam he didn't embrace tightly.

Anything Barack Obama thinks is a good idea is immediately highly suspect and probably bodes ill for the American people.

How completely unexpectedly unexpected. I thought he would be all in on Real Voter ID cards, with confirmed citizenship and verification to vote. Voting by fraudulent means is the new plank in the dem platform.

Oh sure, vote by mail so the union operated post office can conveniently lose ballets or hide them away in tubs like they just did in Wisconsin. Demonrats are after even more easy fraud when it comes to elections.

Yes, and I'm sure he'll recommend Al Franken to head such an effort.

If he is for it, I am against it. They know Joe is a loser and fraud is all they have. Keep your eye on the VP pick.

Funny, the Democrats never have almost never allowed the military absentee ballots to count, but now they're ginning up some other kind of mail-in votes? Don't even fall for it.

Smidgen was president for 8 years and doesn’t even know that America is not a democracy. Let’s finally see those college transcripts - from all three colleges that you supposedly attended.

We want all eligible voters to vote, showing a state issued picture ID that is free in most states. No absent vote unless it is a rare exception like on a doctor approved voter is on their death bed statement attached. If voters do not make the effort to get to the voting booth it is their own fault, not the fault of all those who did get to the voting booth. Voting is a rare privilege in this world and everyone should be willing to drop everything and get to the voting booth or lose their privilege to vote.
