    So which part are you trying to say isn't true? that Republicans also will pork barrel, or that they included it because of the need to have access to safe and legal voting via vbm?

    Or are you one of those people who think vbm is just a scheme to get Biden elected "illegally"?

    So either you're being sarcastic and think they don't, or you fail to see the connection between a corona virus stimulus package and including funding for the USPS to assist in voting *because* of the corona virus.

    Do you dislike the USPS? Give some examples as to why. I mean, outside of inaccurate talking points, of course.

    It's so weird that someone will gloat about that as if he had anything to fucking do with it. Forgetting that his lack of preparation for it exacerbated it.

    ^ Had NO PROBLEM with the previous stimulus packages that forked out billions of dollars to Trump and his cronies businesses.

    So there is definitely voter fraud.
    https://justthenews.com/politics-po...there-voter-fraud-these-recent-cases-prove-it
    Some of its mail-in, some of it isn't. The question is, is mail-in more likely to have fraud or not, and honestly from the tiny bit of research I've done on that it seems to be mostly partisan as to the answer on that. Almost every left-leaning site I have found with their version of statistics says either no or very little, CNN, Axios, and the like. "News" sites on the right seem to have a different narrative, heritage, fox, Breitbart, where their version of "stats" shows it as being wrought with fraud, and intimidation.
    Wonder how much of this argument about mail-in voting and voter fraud is just confirmation bias and which news sources people choose to believe.
    Both Biden and Trump have said the other will cheat to win. My guess is they're both right.
    It all makes for a wonderful mix, neither side will accept the results of this election if they lose.

    The dems can get their own bill to provide monies to the USPS for MIV. Not everyone believes in the connection to COVID provisions.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Not everyone believes in COVID, so why do we need a bill at all?

    In the rational world, there is a pandemic, gathering a bunch of people in the same places to vote is stupid during a pandemic, therefore mail-in voting is necessary for an election during said pandemic, which means money is necessary to ensure that mail-in voting is managed successfully during the pandemic. So yeah, it's COVID-related, even if you don't believe in pandemics, masks or whatever else.
