trump just tweeted... Mail-In Voting, which is "RIPE for FRAUD," and shouldn't be allowed!

Absentee Ballots are a great way to vote for the many senior citizens, military, and others who can’t get to the polls on Election Day. These ballots are very different from 100% Mail-In Voting, which is “RIPE for FRAUD,” and shouldn’t be allowed!

actually participate. And that would be very bad news for Trump and the republicans. The bigger the turnout, the worse their chances.

However, it reduces the simplicity of VBM for seniors, the disabled, etc. All mail-in ballots for RI must be notarized.

Granted, it's not necessary to stand in lines to vote here, but you have to find a Notary and, in some cases, pay a fee. My bank fortunately does it for free for their customers, but not all offer this service. UPS has Notaries, but they charge $10.50.

Perhaps they will with the current times as they are. I understand the reason for it, but it always seemed counter to the needs of the very people it was put in place to help.
