Depends on whom you vote.
Figaronincheez
Thank you for saying jibe instead of jive.
shyasen
It's only fraudulent if you DON'T vote for Trump.
faultysage
Absentee ballots are easy and secure. Mail-in ballots are Democratic witchcraft.
GrandProtectorDark
The are literally the same thing
faultysage
Congrats! You won this round of "That's the Joke!". The game show sensation that's sweeping the nation!
gurlsnuggler
Oh it is safe and secure now... So the protests against it were just to scare off other Americans from participating in democracy.
sadurdaynight
(trump) "I'm going to use my private army to shut down polling places, so please vote by mail for me."
eromitlab
It's only fraud when democrats do it.
GorillaPowers
It's only fraud if you you don't vote republican
makesense
They are trying to claim that mail-in and absentee are different but they aren't.
Munchman347
Don't they use carrier pigeons for Rep-Con votes?...
thisiskissel
The red ones won’t get thrown out by the USPS.
JeretJax
They think absentee voting is different then mail in voting.
BrewBQ
Depending on your state, there can be a difference. In Illinois, you can request to vote by mail regardless of the reason you are absent.1/2
BrewBQ
There are plenty of states that have a "No Excuse Mail in Ballot" meaning you don't need an excuse to use it. You just request one.2/2
Ninjainslippers
There is technically a minor difference. But if anything absentee voting is more likely to result in fraud. Regardless it's dumb.
Camelspotting
All absentee voting is mail in but not all mail in is absentee. That said, if the line in the middle is true then theres no difference in NC
Meloncov
Yeah, a couple states have universal vote by mail, but in the vast majority of the country they're one and the same.

Since the word globe comes from the Latin word globus, meaning "sphere" - No, they wouldn't!

North Carolina voted for republicans in 9 of the 10 last elections, so that's why they send it out to North Carolina residents.

At the time of typing, Trump is currently ahead in the polls in North Carolina. :/

That's saying that Republic ballots are secure. They're probably planning on tossing others out.

If you meant provinces, yes; US states are similar to the provinces or territories of other countries.
PossiblePotato
There is no USA without the individual states. States have their own governments and elections.

truth isn't a universal thing for them, it comes and goes, it changes shape in each time and place to fit what they need it to be.

It's only a fraud when Democrats vote by mail. Not Republicans silly.

Damn the elite have everyone by the balls don't they. Fighting amongst ourselves and parties ect when it's them that we should hate.
Adamarket
YES.
ThanksIHateThis
Oh no, see, absentee voting and voting my mail, are "different."
DevonGronka
republicans love to label democrats as the party of fraud while republicans actively carry out fraud and work to disenfranchise voters
HommeDeFeu
This is only for Republicans to use. Democrats have to use different mail in ballot.

Vote-by-mail is the most secure and hardest to do voter fraud against.
Cheomesh
Yet in 2018, NC had election fraud via mail-in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_North_Carolina%27s_9th_congressional_district_election
ThePastmaster
I said it was hard, not impossible. The keystone of voter fraud is not getting found out.
technicalfool
No. That's in-person, manually-counted, which you should always do unless it's completely infeasible. Then vote by mail. And never e-vote.

It got lost in the mail too.
TechnicolorCheeseWedge
Can we get a movement to volunteer to work the polls? Most poll workers are older, so there will be less workers & therefore polling places

As early as possible with the USPS slowdowns!
marteney1
I truly think that’s part of Trump’s attack on the USPS. Slow it down so mail voting suffers even more. Anything to disenfranchise people
tinybluedot5
Apparently in NY huge numbers of primary ballots were thrown out bc of postal issues. So now I’m thinking I’ll vote in person. so fucked
Taxicat
And keep that little tab that lets you track your ballot! DO NOT LOSE IT!
FoxPesdassi
If you can, try to mail your ballot from a primarily-Republican precinct. The new Postmaster-General is a Trump appointee, who got the 1/3?
FoxPesdassi
position not from having relevant experience, but from being friend & campaign donor to the Don. Expect a lot of ballots from Democratic 2/3

David Pakman makes an argument that Trump thinks there's something called vote by mail were anyone can send their votes in, and then there's
jspatte83360
Absentee voting which is completely different and good and secure. We just need to go with and promote absentee voting and not use the

KingKelloggTheWaffleHaggler
I'm glad a random twitter person can declare who is what and such.
PleaseRespectMyAsshole
If you support a recent person, I'm am going to assume, by default, you are racist as well.
twozerooz
Logic declares it.
KingKelloggTheWaffleHaggler
Logic and twitter mentality...
twozerooz
Are you implying if something is logical and on Twitter, it's magically less logical or correct?
KingKelloggTheWaffleHaggler
Saying Twitter and logic aren't something that correlates. Also trump has a lot of black supporters. Are they racist too?
evanjellyman
This really sums up what is wrong with America. Such extremes of us vs them mentality. The irony is you are the one acting like a fascist..
Cheomesh
LOL
Damiv
You might have a point if trump wasn’t a blatant racist.
evanjellyman
I hear that alot on imgur and from the sensationalised media in the U.S. But I don't think he is. I think he's hard on immigration.
Damiv
The dude literally keeps a book of hitler’s speeches next to his bed every night.

HopelessNecr0mantic
This needs to be amended to say again. Yes we knew he was then, but the media was complicit in helping him keep a lid on it. Lots didn't.
SkynetWithAPoopKnife
What the fuck are you talking about?
DevonGronka
I don't remember that; I remember a lot of people saying "this dude is a friggin racist" and republicans just not caring.
HopelessNecr0mantic
Yeah that's fair. But the sheer volume of evidence wasn't as obvious then. It is completely undeniable now.
gingernuts4me
Dude, he called Mexicans rapists during his campaign
HopelessNecr0mantic
Oh I'm not saying there wasn't evidence. There was plenty. Mexican rapists, central park 5, plenty more. But there is way more now.
PapaSammich
Wait. So voting applications come labelled according to party? I've never done a mail-in, but that seems FUBAR.
Camelspotting
Why? It would be pretty weird if parties didn't encourage people to vote.
HopelessNecr0mantic
This iant official from the government. Basically it is a party taking the official application, and sending it to their people to promote
FiveShiftOne
This is a case where the republican party sent out applications to receive absentee ballots to every registered republican in the state. >
FiveShiftOne
This is not illegal at all-- it's just an application to send in to the election office to receive a ballot. However, they've accused >
FiveShiftOne
states who sent these applications to entire voter rolls-- of all parties-- of illegal acts, because this is a transparent attempt to >
FiveShiftOne
suppress votes, because Republicans do better when fewer people vote, and they know it.
Meloncov
I believe the party is providing applications that are already mostly filled out. Standard applications aren't party-affiliated.
TechnicolorCheeseWedge
Yeah, I signed up to get an absentee ballot and had to choose Democrat or Republican. I'm undeclared by choice and hated that requirement
PapaSammich
That's kind of where I thought things might get squishy.
BitterBostonian
Not sure what you expected? You can only vote in one primary so you have to choose. Same as in person voting.
TechnicolorCheeseWedge
I was signing up for all future elections this year, so this applied to the primary and general
DoubleChungTransplant
They are labeled by party for the primaries. You vote in your party's primary. Everyone gets the same ballot for the general election
PapaSammich
Or is that the "obvious" joke here?
Chryos
It's for a caucus or primary.
PapaSammich
Thanks, I honestly did not know it was even a "thing". That doesn't feel off at all.
unkiereamus
Depends on if your state has open or closed primaries.

Why not? That one choice has plunged our country into chaos . I'm shaming both the voters and the people who didn't vote.

I'd rather they learn to next time research the candidate, understand context more, and vote someone in who won't cause this to happen again

This is absolutely critical. Do not forget this!!

yes, cause mocking them for changing is just gonna teach them +Change = Pain and thus they'll learn to dig-in even when wroooooooooooooong.

I admit I was wrong but, given a time machine, I still wouldn't have voted for Hillary Clinton. We were not provided acceptable choices.
RocknRootRanchcuzallwegotisrocksandrootsandafewtrees
I voted down ticket because I couldn't abide the top two choices.
dickable
I would've agreed until the pandemic. There's 0 chance she would've fucked this up anywhere near as badly.
pwilk44
I agree that Hillary isn't great, but trump was and is the greater of two evils
skellington01
Hillary would’ve listened to Fauci. That’s all she had to to be better than Trump. Nothing she would do would cause more harm than he did
Rayxzerox
so you've learned nothing from this
wealthychef
I learned the person I didn't know was evil, turned out to be evil. I knew already Hillary was. Next time I'm voting Vermin Supreme.
Rayxzerox
Given you couldn't recognize evil when it stepped up to a microphone and announced itself, your ability to do so is suspect.
darkusblack
How did you know? Source on Hilary being evil please
wealthychef
I served with and worked with some dudes that were tasked with her security for a few years. No details here.
Rogahar
Respectfully, Clinton may have been a poor president, but she wouldn't have made as spectacular of a fuck-up of everything as Trump has.
GenStrike
Sure, but we want to be able to vote for someone we believe in, rather than AGAINST someone we don't.
Rogahar
Yes, the choices weren't great, but this wasn't 'good and bad', this was 'bad and apocalyptically terrible'
wealthychef
That's my hangup. I really thing she would have. What a disappointing electing that was. Anyway, won't make that mistake again.
MarcoPoloOnPollo
I'm glad you are willing to change that idea. She truly was garbage, as is Biden imo. The difference is whether they will listen to experts.
rainehdaze
On what grounds do you think Clinton would have managed to fail every diplomatic engagement AND mangle a pandemic response?

Sorry, I'll need more than 140 characters for that.
