No faith in mail-in voting in November

August 20, 2020

There’s been quite a bit of an argument regarding mail-in voting, and I’d like to share my two cents on the discussion. We can all go to the grocery store, liquor store, drugstore, big-box store with hardly any problems with COVID-19, according to the recent stats. So put on your big boy/girl pants and go to the polling place like we did in past. Wear your mask and pretend you are at the grocery store. 

Everything points to cheating in places that have tried mail-in voting in primaries: New York, New Jersey, New York City and Nevada; those were a disaster. So do you really think 360 million ballots are going to be sent scot-free of tampering? I don’t think so.

The Democrats want to win this November by hook or crook; mail-ins would be the crook, and they and the fake news are using COVID-19 as an excuse to get people all scared to leave their houses to vote. Look at Phil Murphy of New Jersey; he just announced that voting in New Jersey in November will be by mail only.

He dodged questions on how is New Jersey going to safeguard the ballots. Remember that letter in the last edition about morons? Well you see one in New Jersey called a governor.
