I agree with this. Maybe to clarify; I'm not against getting more LEGAL citizens to vote, closing the gap in voter suppression or allowing folks whom its too hard or costly to get to a voting place to doso.

I just don't want 'live' ballots sent to EVERY [registered voting] American. I think that those 'live' ballots, without that registered voter on the other end requesting it... to THAT address, at THIS election, is smart. I think doing THAT allows for the BS to happen; and I think the BS *does* happen.

However, even the small safegaurd that you described in your area is fine. I WANT more Americans to vote... problem is, theres so many counties and municipalities and DIFFERENCES, that some problem that happened in one county in some small area gets all the coverage and folks [like me] think in their heads that this is how it happened EVERYWHERE.

I'm against 'live' ballots being blanket mailed. Regardless, I think THIS election was legal and valid. But I want to do better if we choose to continue using mail-in voting in a larger way in America. I'm not blanket against it, either.
