Trump's weapon is to claim voter fraud. Vote in person & take it away from him. [View all]

What can he say if the vast majority vote in person? Nothing other than useless blathering. The risk of catching Covid while voting is low. You're not going to be in a crowded, enclosed space. Most lines are outside. People are spaced. In the voting area, you wont be there longer than 5-10 mins tops. And even then not close to someone.
We ALL need to show up & do it in person. WE, the people, can take away his biggest weapon. The weapon the Russians are using. All by just voting in person. At least in the numbers we did in '18. Obviously there are some who simply cannot vote in person, but most of those probably have always voted absentee. But if we can spend an hour at the grocery store or elsewhere, we can spend an hour or 2 at the polls. We can DO THIS!
Put on our masks, vote in person & shut him DOWN.

How so? I think there's some states where this Phoenix61 Sep 2020 #4
It all depends on a state and even where the person lives within the state. LisaL Sep 2020 #10
Yeah, it's becoming tiresome - and more than a bit odd. lagomorph777 Sep 2020 #20
It's becoming tiresome. LisaL Sep 2020 #23
My state only has one per county also, and it's the first election where anybody can vote "absentee" lagomorph777 Sep 2020 #25
My state allowed absentee voting for a while now. LisaL Sep 2020 #29
it will be safe enough to do BUT we need poll workers so we all need to pitch in beachbumbob Sep 2020 #2
Excuse me, but I am not listening to the stupid shit Trump says. LisaL Sep 2020 #3
It's not about listening to Twitler or fraud it's about Phoenix61 Sep 2020 #14
I still get my mail. LisaL Sep 2020 #17

Oh for crying out loud. LisaL Sep 2020 #19
Problem is that Trump is hoping for going to the polls... BittyJenkins Sep 2020 #5
Ding Ding Ding we have a winner exboyfil Sep 2020 #9
Yup - TrumPutin's hack is getting seriously messed up by the massive shift to early/mail-in votes. lagomorph777 Sep 2020 #21
I don't worry about my state... stillcool Sep 2020 #6
I wonder why OP wants to push a GOP talking point? lagomorph777 Sep 2020 #22
Why is going to the damn polls a "GOP talking point"? Good lord. oldsoftie Sep 2020 #24
The safest and most reliable options vary by jurisdiction. Pushing only what Trump wants lagomorph777 Sep 2020 #27
Trump himself just voted absentee. LisaL Sep 2020 #32
From an address that isn't a residence. lagomorph777 Sep 2020 #33
Where I am, i believe both parties must be involved in counting. oldsoftie Sep 2020 #34
Seriously? Each state sets its own rules. This has been widely discussed for decades. lagomorph777 Sep 2020 #35
I just thought we had a basic set of rules ALL states had to follow. oldsoftie Sep 2020 #39
I have been see-sawing with it... stillcool Sep 2020 #36
Exactly. That was my line of thinking on it. oldsoftie Sep 2020 #40
I will vote early & in person, despite my age, weight, high BP, and diabetes. tblue37 Sep 2020 #7
If he wins the "in person" vote, he will declare victory, then and there. kentuck Sep 2020 #8
I really don't care what he declares. LisaL Sep 2020 #11
So? What counts is whom the states' declare to be the winner. Kaleva Sep 2020 #13
Yes! As you said, "thoroughly". Soundly. Bigly. oldsoftie Sep 2020 #30
The problem with that is that it will make the lines longer. Jeebo Sep 2020 #12
That also depends on where the voter lives. LisaL Sep 2020 #15
I understand that point; and in those areas I would urge early voting. oldsoftie Sep 2020 #26
Pointless to try to chase Trumps gonna claims. He will spout a geyser full of shit no matter what. bullimiami Sep 2020 #16
You do have a good point there. "Spout a geyser full of shit". THERE'S an optic! oldsoftie Sep 2020 #28
I think that's Bigly. The Bigliest Loser. bullimiami Sep 2020 #38
How is that a weapon?? honest.abe Sep 2020 #31
Roberts has a record of opposition to electoral integrity. lagomorph777 Sep 2020 #37
