I always look forward to & enjoy your emails. I admire your intelligence & humor & respect u. I do have to call your attention to the idea that mail in ballots should be considered to be restricted to military personnel--unfortunately there is a mentality in this previously prosperous nation that everybody is well off which is is a sad delusion. I am guessing millions of people are poor & lacking in basic needs--I for one lost my car in an accident 3 years ago & was not able to buy another. Between not having a car & my health not being adequate to standing in line waiting to vote I am dependent on being able to use mail in voting & I suspect many elderly or disabled are in the same pickle. The shame is in not being able to trust our voting processes whatever the form it is excercized.

There should be provisions for situations like yours, but universal mail-in ballots is not the solution. It is obviously and unequivocly frought with corruption.

Mail-in or in-"person" doesn't matter if the registration rolls are not cleaned up! Too many dead people and non-residents (and even non-citizens!) "voting"; And also the electronic tabulation machines have to GO! There needs to be an auditable PAPER trail for every election.

🗨 standing in line waiting to vote

Why THIS ↑↑ is considered normal, ffs? The richest state on earth cannot afford an adequate number of polling stations equipped with an adequate number of voting booths?! 🤬 Clearly our democracy™ doesn't depend on streamlined voting procedure 😏
