Even the postal service are saying that it's logistically impossible for them to deal with that many mail in ballots.

I don't understand why ANYONE trusts the USPS with ANYTHING. Amazon Prime is so popular because nobody trusts the post office. I'm a total Boomer and I collect books and CDs and Blu-rays and shit and I'm ALWAYS mailordering and I've had many things get lost in the mail. Sometimes they get delivered weeks after USPS tracking says it was delivered (my mailman is a jackass who sometimes likes to drop off packages at the wrong address). Every now and then, something never shows up at all.

Why is mail-in ballots a Right vs. Left issue? Both sides are equally vulnerable to getting screwed. Ballots will be lost (or "lost") along the way almost certainly.

It's your classic leftist misunderstanding of how things actually work coupled with their confidence (or overconfidence) that they won't actually be the ones to suffer under their policy. They're mad at Trump because he's undermining their attempts to cheat.

People are always complaining that the post office lost something. Or screwed something up. Or didn't deliver something. Add to this that, if implemented, mail men around the country are going to be busier than ever on election day and the days leading up to it trying to deliver all these mail in ballots. That means the possibility for error is even higher. Then you've got millions of postal workers, who haven't been vetted, being responsible for people's votes. A mail man with a political axe to grind could just decide that he's not going to deliver certain ballots, and no one would ever know because the mail man usually does his route alone. No one's watching him so there's no accountability. A cornerstone of elections is that you do not trust. Ever. People will cheat, if it's easy for them and they think they can get away with it.

Libshits are screeching about how Trump is disenfranchising minority voters or some nonsense (I've heard my NPC brother regurgitate this) but by coming down hard on postal voting what he's really doing is safeguarding the election integrity for everyone, not just his team.

Bottom line, if you can't be bothered to get off your ass and go and vote, that's your problem. If you don't want to go and stand in line with a bunch of Trump supporters, even for the potential reward of getting him out of office, because of muh corona, that's your problem. If you're unwilling to inconvenience yourself even slightly for the right to practice democracy then you don't deserve the right to democracy.

Fucking this. I mail a lot of shit and so many things ended up being broken and I have to fucking deal with it because the USPS just says "it wasn't packed right" or some other bullshit and refuse to accept responsibility that some nigger in the back sat on my buyer's ebay package. Fuck the USPS seriously, they are a fucking joke.

I can't honestly say if mail-in ballots would have more fraud than we currently have now. See, where I live, we do have mail-in ballots. Like I said before, I've never noticed voter fraud, but the left doesn't NEED to commit voter fraud to win here. They win on every issue regardless. I can only imagine that voter fraud would be much easier to pull off with a mail-in system in the swing states, however.

So I haven't seen mail-in voter fraud, but there's no particular reason I would see it. And the right wing wouldn't even try voter fraud here (on a large scale) because the numbers are so stacked against them that it's easier to just move out of the area. Or write the entire area off and canvass somewhere else. It would be way too fucking obvious if the libshit cities here had a sudden massive conservative shift, apropos of nothing.

Given where you live I wouldn't be surprised if it goes at least purple this election

Never had that problem myself, but I've heard some horror stories regarind post delivery. Like shit getting to an address that sounds similar enough.

That wouldn't be apropos of nothing, though. Even so, I doubt it will happen. The shitlibs are too indoctrinated and they're still the majority.
