President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign on Thursday called on top Republicans to drop litigation seeking to curtail aspects of mail balloting now that Donald Trump has begun to embrace the method.
Trump for years falsely claimed voting by mail was riddled with fraud, but his 2024 campaign began a program this month to encourage mail voting if convenient for people. It is part of Republicans’ attempt to increase mail voting among their supporters.
At the same time, the Republican National Committee, newly under the former president’s control, has sued or joined lawsuits seeking to limit certain aspects of mail voting.

"Biden campaign calls on GOP to drop lawsuits over mail ballots,

No.
Absentee ballots should be strictly limited.
Military.
Work, on election day, not year.
Medical.
Like government, the least fraud is the best fraud.
The recent poll showing "innocent" fraud of 20% of respondents is already way too high.
And, that's before the organized "criminal" fraud of ballot harvesting.

Agree with #1 the only people who should be voting by mail is military.
That's the only time I ever voted by mail in absentee ballot. Every other election I got my lazy butt in gear and went to vote in person, on election day. Mail in ballots, early in-person voting is just inviting 'shenanigans'.

Basic rule. Whatever way wrong way Biden leans, do the opposite

FTA: "Trump’s lies regarding mail ballots were a centerpiece of his false claims that voter fraud cost him the 2020 election, a falsehood that helped spur the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol."
That is as much of the article as I was willing to read. AP is getting smarter about showing their extreme bias though. They now wait until later in articles to start spreading democrat lies as if they were indisputable truths.

Nope. The Dems are for CROOKED, fraudulent mail ballots, Trump is for honest mail ballots. HUGE difference.

If one has to play a game with questionable rules one plays by the rules while working to change them.

That simply tells me they've got hold of a trusted Trump advisor, and are blackmailing them to torpedo Trump.
There is no, too low, for the Democrats to go...

Nope. Make them play by their own rules. If Trump's polling numbers were down, they wouldn't be whining.

That was 2020, this is 2024. It's a whole new ball game but it doesn't mean you didn't cheat last time every which way but loose.

Absentee ballots are a necessity for those of us who travel constantly for our jobs. (Truckers, for instance, fit this category.) In my state the process is complicated, as it should be in every state.

Agree that the only people who should be voting by mail is military. Started to add disabled vets, however, the last general election here, my friend reported that voting machines were set up at her nursing home. There are several disabled NamVets in that facility, several who had left our high school to enlist then!

Mail-in balloting might be acceptable IF:
1. Voter roles have been properly purged of former voters who have moved away or are deceased;
2. The time limits for early voting have been severely limited to a week or so before voting day;
3. Counting of late-arriving ballots is severely curtailed, instead of extended by leftist state courts, in contravention of existing legislative law;
4. The signature and identification protections of mail-in ballots are strictly followed. In 2020, most mail-in ballots were not even signature-verified, or the vote-counting machines were tinkered with to allow a wide variance between actual signatures on file and phony, fraudulent signatures on ballots; and
5. The vote-counting staff of major metropolitan districts in swing states were not limited to ultra-leftist employees and volunteers;
6. The vote counting centers were not "shut down" overnight, sending the vote-counting witnesses home, while supervisory personnel continued to feed ballots into machines through the night; and
7. No trucks, vans, or other vehicles are allowed to bring in boxes and pallets of ballots in the dead of night, when the vote-counting centers are supposedly locked down.

As demonstrated by the problems Maricopa County had with its electronic voting machines on Election Day last cycle, we see that voting on the day of the election is no longer immune from Democrat shenanigans, either.

The Constitution does not vest authority in matters of voting to any president or to any bureaucratic minions within an administration, but to the state legislatures of the 50 states.
