    Donald Trump accused some who cast ballots in US elections by mail of "cheating," even though he intends to do so in Florida as part of the Sunshine State's primary.

    The president made clear he opposes states moving to all-absentee ballot elections amid the coronavirus epidemic, telling reporters Tuesday night he fears that would lead to widespread voter fraud. He defended his request for an absentee ballot because "I'm here in the White House."

    Previous chiefs executive also have cast ballots from afar – but few, if any, claimed voting-by-mail automatically triggers "cheating."

    He was given the choice versus required all-mailed in ballots. I personally don't like mail in ballots. My precinct is pretty well run though, and I can walk there in 2 minutes.

    I even recognize that guy. Had to go back and look. I was thinking of that bald sports reporter when I read your post.

    I was wrong.

    That link I didn't even pay attention to because it isn't where I saw it. Just googled mayor haircut virus or something like that.

    I was thinking of Joe Becker. Googled it and he is working for KATU if nothing has changed from 2019.

    How passé. In this modern age, I want to receive my voting bribe electronically, not in the mail.

    Finally received my bribe last week, and it didn't bounce. I'm all set for the election.

    Because some states will invalidate your ID for things like unpaid parking tickets. Civil penalties should not take away your right to vote.

    I watch Joe Becker every night on the the 11 o'clock news. Actually, he's on only about half the nights 'cause the news station is probable too damned cheap to pay him for five nights a week.

    Not everyone has ID.
    Some people don't drive or have a passport. They don't need to cash a check or need ID because they don't really own anything. These sort of people tend to be Black and Democrats (who else is going to stick up for poor Black people) and exactly what Republicans don't want voting.

    "These sort of people" is incredibly racist and close-minded.
