Not all mail in voting is the same (5.00 / 1) (#7)

A hastily organized mail in vote is a lot different from an Oregon-style system with pre-established signature verification.

system for over one million absentee ballots filed by mail in Florida elections.

There is no problem whatsoever with this.

This is BS and you knows it.

a big deal from the processing point of view.
I mean, it does sound like a big deal -- any election is. But it doesn't sound like a big difference from what they've done before.

a mail-in revote, if it is fair. Forgive me if I'm scepticle that Florida could pull that off, but we'll see...

Florida ran a mail in primary on January 29. It was called absentee ballots. There was early voting too.

Ipso facto, it wasn't fair.
