California doing it right yet again. of course, Trump and the Republicans hate it..

https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article242606111.html

While we have always supported absentee voting, California is a case study in why automatically sending this many ballots is a problem, spokesman Michael Ahrens wrote. Just last year, a court found that LA county had 1.5 million ineligible voters on their registration lists, meaning there were 112 percent more registered voters than adults living in the county. We are weighing our legal options to ensure the integrity of the election.

edit: corrected typo in title >_>

Yes it does. A lot of California is red. This could potentially change a lot in state, and if other states follow their lead it will be a big deal.

There is literally zero chance red was ever going to Cali this year regardless of whether people could or couldn't vote from home, sorry. This would matter if the popular vote determined the presidency, but it doesn't.

If swing states do the same thing, sure.

Maryland's Primary was delayed to June, but the plan for that is also mailing ballots to registered voters. I have heard of very limited in-person voting though

Mail-in voting is a good thing, but it's nonsense to not want to make sure any security concerns are dealt with. Online voting would be the most ideal but that would never work because of security concerns. You can't generalize that all Republicans want to take away voting rights and then use that to justify ignoring any concern raised by a Republican.

Failed what?

Newsom is bringing the right people together to create a system like no other for California.

Landlords of course don't have anything to do with elections, but California should've already had great and tremendous advantages like mail-in ballots. California is the greatest. Cost of living is extremely high, so it should be the Ultimate State and already had this even before COVID.

Why do some people not realize theres more than one political race on the ballot? This is scaring me.

They prolly believe the president controls everything and appoints all state level officials

The fact that you have to go back 30+ years kinda proves my point. Cali has been 60% or more democrat since 2008 and that's not changing anytime soon.

And lol at other people in here implying that people voting for Biden would then go and vote for Republican senators, justices etc. Like, what

You: Mail ballots being sent in Cali!

Me: Doesn't matter, blue will/would have won anyway.

You: Yes it matters.

Me: No, maybe it would if the popular vote determined the presidency or if this was a swing state.

You: B-b-but people vote for things other than the presidency you know! GOTCHA!

Me: Blue would win there anyway by a wide margin, and those people who voted blue for the presidency are not gonna go and vote red in those other categories. Implying otherwise is silly so it still doesn't really matter for Cali.

That pretty much sums up the interaction thus far, I don't get what's so hard to understand or follow?

AgaIn, California has many places that vote red. And i'm still not sure why you mentioned Biden. Why are you acting so immature? you came in claiming we meant this could affect the Presidency. We explained to you that's not what we think..yet you keep going on and saying the wrong thing. what do you gain from that? just be an adult and say you misunderstood something.

So do the people against mail in voting assume that people will steal mail in votes and fill them out to which ever candidates they want?
