bighairymike: but I think the Dems deliberately exploited the Covid crisis to establish massive mail-in voting at the last minute with little time to develop effective procedures to verify ballot requests and verify ballot received.

And, of course, you're wrong.

Red and blue states alike made changes to make it easier and more accessible for voters to cast their ballots from home in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the following 30 states: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin. Please note that almost half of these states are red and a handful are toss-up states.

Several states already had predominantly vote-by-mail elections prior to the pandemic, including Arizona, Colorado, Florida and Washington.

Eight states where a significant percentage of voters choose to cast ballots by mail always had ballot drop boxes (not just beginning with the 2020 election, but in prior elections as well): Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Montana, New Mexico, Oregon and Washington. So these predominantly blue states had ballot drop boxes incorporated into their election prior to 2020.

Three states -- Massachusetts, Delaware and South Carolina -- eliminated the excuse requirement for the 2020 election while eight states -- Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Kentucky, Missouri, New Hampshire, New York and West Virginia (more red states than blue) -- allowed all voters to cite the coronavirus pandemic as a reason to cast their ballot by mail for the general election.

And no, these changes were not "put in place at the last minute" and certainly not by democrats in red states controlled by republican legislatures or republican election officials. Most states made these changes for their primary voting, months ahead of the general election.


bighairymike: Now if they can just boot people off the ballot...

Simple solution: if you don't want to be removed from the ballot, don't abandon your constitutional responsibility and try to steal an election by entering into a conspiracy to put forward fraudulent electors, illegally pressure state election officials to change their vote counts, or incite your supporters to violently attack the Capitol to block the peaceful transfer of power.
