Remember when Trump said vote by mail was ok if state had GOP governor like FL?

Just sayin'. All those problems with ballots and the USPS. If you have a governor who is willing to help lose the ballots...

Interesting to me that in Oregon, our election mail was not delayed. Got our ballots 18 days before. Gave mine to my mail carrier two weeks before and got email from county elections acknowledging receipt the next day.

When we talk about the numbers, it's important to consider that there was still an incredible amount of voter suppression in this election. Dems kept staying we'd have to have huge turnout to compensate for all the suppression. If not for that, numbers would have been a lot higher for Biden. One good thing about COVID is a lot more people voted on paper which is harder to rig electronically.

Some ballots were mailed late because they were printed late. My county printed 50,000 ballots incorrectly and had to re-print and re-mail them, also causing delays.
Not that ended up making a difference in OH, but it could have if election was close.

what Trump said about FL governor and that we all were immediately suspicious they were up to no good, and that FL did have a lot of delivery problems. .
