But, dang, great news that they're doing VBM!
GA Dems need to do outreach to ensure people mail in their ballot requests!!
I found an article on this from April 20, 2020 -- is there something new?

I hope coalitionforgoodgovernance.org & Fairfight.com keep a close eye on how the GA SOS will count the votes.
I found something truly alarming on the GA SOS website -- it's been there for years too!

Perfect regulation to allow for flawless cheating!! LEGALLY tabulating all day ON ELECTION DAY while elections are in process.

(53,410 posts)Ive already sent my ballot in. We also have Valerie Plame on it, running for Congress. Our present Congressman Ben Ray Lújan is running for the Senate to replace retiring Senator Tom Udall. Lújan is running unopposed.

(11,495 posts)Maybe republican voters will figure out that voting my mail isn't so bad, at least not compared to possibly getting the virus if they have to vote in person.
If things get worse after trumps "opening" of the country, many voters, including republicans, might just like the idea of voting by mail and not taking a chance of ending up in the hospital, or a coffin.
I live in Washington state, and we have been voting by mail for years, and I have never heard anyone, republican or Democrat, complain about voter fraud or someone somehow changing their vote at the post office like trump claims. It's the safest way to vote in times like this.
