Oregon's been voting by mail for over 2 decades and there's been virtually no fraud, certainly nothing to merit this hyperbole.
If you won't take my word on it, how about the word of our former Secretary of State, conservative Republican Dennis Richardson? wweek.com/news/2017/02/1…
But we all know that Republicans like Massie aren't really concerned about fraud. They're concerned that vote-by-mail makes it easier for people to vote and will thus drive up turnout, especially among young people, which is bad for Republicans.
Conservatives: Our brilliant founders created a federal system where states are laboratories of democracy.
OR & WA: Hey, we've got a vote by mail system that's been working really well for decades. You should try it.
Conservatives: Vote by mail will destroy America.

Attacking “the liberal media” that supposedly oppressed and excluded conservatives has been a defining feature of conservatism since the 1960s. Trump is just the logical extension of this long-festering, illiberal anti-intellectualism that has served the GOP well.
Here's a thread on Agnew's version of this attack in the late 60s.
Here's a thread on right wing billionaire, H.L. Hunt's deployment of this messaging in 1967.

This bearded guy walks into my office, huge, with sandals, says he's Jesus and I mean, maybe he was. Many people are saying it was Jesus. So he walks over to me, it was actually more of a float...[hand flourish] just like this, and he says "Sir, can I give you a hug?" Why not?
So we're hugging and I'm thinking "has this guy washed his hands?" I'm kind of a germaphobe you know. But he's Jesus, so whaddya gonna do? So he hugs me, a little bit too long and a little bit too hard if you ask me, but anyway, he then whispers "God, what is it with you?"
I look up at him, and it's weird because I'm a tall guy and there are few people I have to look up at but he's Jesus so, you know, it's ok and I say "what?" And he says "God be with you." I musta misheard him the first time.

I believe the nation's roid rage Little League coaches refer to this as "taking one for the team."
These are the same people who constantly rail against the dangers of leftist collectivism...but now they're like "you need to risk dying for the good of the economy." Tho obviously by "you" they don't mean "us," they mean everyone but the people we define as "us."
Let me rephrase that. If the entire staff of The Federalist agreed to attend one of these parties to voluntarily contract the disease, then I'd take this more seriously.

We should expect to see more talking head recommendations for how to alter the #voting process to address #coronavirus concerns. Voting by mail is going be a part of the solution.

Here's why I don't think it can be the whole solution for the #2020election

THREAD:
States should move to allow more voting by mail independent of recent developments. The @BPC_Bipartisan Task Force on #Elections recommends just that. We support moves by our friends at @voteathome to ensure all Americans have the option to vote by mail

bipartisanpolicy.org/report/logical…
That doesn't mean all states have taken the important steps to update laws and technology to administer an #election with a very high % of #voting by mail, and it's unlikely many can get up to speed before the #2020election. Many state legislatures have already adjourned

CA Voter Education Eowyn🌹
@WestCoastGadfly
California @BernieSanders voter education 🧶

The Primary election decides which Democrat will face Trump in November. YOU MUST VOTE IN THE PRIMARY in order to have a say in whether Bernie is the one who faces Trump.

CA primary ends March 3rd, Super Tuesday, this time around!
#CAprimary2020 is a month long primary, more or less, if you vote by mail. VBM ballots start getting mailed out same day as the Iowa caucus, February 3rd, depending on the county you live in.

➡️ Don't wait until March 3rd! Take advantage of the opportunity to #VoteEarly!
By voting before March 3rd you minimize the potential for voter suppression and genuine polling day mistakes. You also ensure that your vote will be counted by the end of the day March 3rd, not weeks later, when the media have already run amok with the projected winner!

This all started because the #MetPolice & #LBRUT couldn't do their day jobs properly & decided to take the law into their own hands. It started as a small cover up 12 years ago but has turned into British State Persecution.

#Skynews #BBCNews #DailyMail #Guardian #Euronews
My company was raided. It should have been a straightforward matter. But the #MetPolice & #LBRUT forgot to seize my computer & came back to do a 2nd raid. The search warrant didn't permit a second entry, however, #LBRUT entered unlawfully

#Guardian #Telegraph #DailyMail #GMB #UK
Complaints were then made to my MP #VinceCable. He liaised with the #Metpolice & #LBRUT. And then weeks later, the search warrant was completely changed & was passed off as the search warrant executed on the day of the raids.
