There's only one reason Republicans hate vote by mail:

There’s only one reason Republicans hate vote by mail:
It allows every person of color to vote, without hours long lines, two few polling places, faulty voting machines.
Hell, it lets every registered voter in the nation vote. It’s their worst fucking nightmare.
Let’s make that happen.

And poor people.

They hate us all.

And hell yes to Vote by Mail. My state did it, and its the best. It allows nearly everyone to participate. And it has a built in paper trail, which is pretty awesome.

they perform the way they are programmed, to flip votes for Republicans. Yeah, I can't prove that, but neither can anyone disprove it since voting machines are not pulled out randomly and independently audited.

Let's not kid ourselves. The GOP cannot win unless they cheat - and they all KNOW it! They will cheat to win any/every election, but they just haven't figured out how to beat the mail in voting system yet. Believe me they will find a way, they always do.

We must never turn our backs on the cheating Republicans, and never trust them to do the right thing. They will cheat every chance they get.
