| Twenty-eight states changed voting rules to boost mail-in ballots |
| 2021-03-10 |
| [Washington Examiner] A new report on the vast expansion of mail-in ballots in the 2020 election is set to spark new concerns among some Republicans who back former President Donald Trump’s charge that some states went too far to change the rules — illegally. The group Nonprofit Vote said today that 28 states changed voting rules enabling more people to vote by mail than in person. Among the three "key takeaways" cited was this: "28 States changed their policy to make it easier to use a mail ballot." As a result, it added, "For the first time ever, more people voted early with a mail ballot or in-person than filled out a ballot at the polls on Election Day." Trump associates have hit some states for making changes without legislative approval. However, in many cases, the Trump team had lost in court. Many states did follow the proper process to change the rules. The report, America Goes to the Polls: Policy and Voter Turnout in the 2020 Election, does not go into the state-by-state changes, but it does show how many more voted. Some GOP lawyers and officials have claimed that Democratic states sought to boost the anti-Trump vote by sending voters ballots, taking away the inconvenience of standing in line on Election Day. Most of those states, however, argued that the coronavirus crisis required a quick change to keep voters safe. Trump moved early to criticize mail-in voting, but the report showed that voters embraced it. "A record 111 million voted with either a mail ballot or early in-person, more than double the number who voted in person on Election Day," said the group. |

| #8 Mail-in ballots without sufficient safeguards against ballot fraud. Nothing wrong with mail-in for those that need it, like the military. |

| #7 It needs to be fixed, of course, Hey, Angstrom, haven't you heard? The "fix" is in! |

| #6 This is old news. Mail-in, absentee ballots. Ballots filled in for other people. Multiple ballots under variations of the same name. Out of state voting. All standard. It needs to be fixed, of course, but none of it matters so long as Dominion is doing the counting. |

| #5 How about ... every CITIZEN is given an ID, similar to a social security number or a military number. At election time a citizen may vote either in person or by mail or electronically. Each vote is identified by the given ID. votes cast by mail or electronically with duplicate IDs are set aside. The database to reference is keyed by ID and containes name and contact data ONLY. I have been a computer programmer for 60+ years and writing a program to do this would be easy. |

| #4 Any Coup having taken power immediately installs it own legal tribunal/system and controls the power to enforce and secure its position. Therefore, not allowing any means of addressing the coup's criminal behavior used to achieving power within the new Coup controlled system. Without placing yourself in pearl. eg. The Nov. 2020 Voting Coup d'état. SCOTUS & DOJ & States all refusing to address literally tons of factually documented Massive Voting Fraud. |

| #3 No worries, the message is clear. Our well moneyed Deep State oligarchs and their media partners will instruct us regarding whom we should vote for. If their instruction is not heeded, more direct measures will be employed. |

| #2 I fear the republic is about over, definitely in the "decline and fall" stage. |

| #1 A theft in plain sight. Described openly, in advance. If this garbage is allowed to stand, then the Republic is over |
