Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order Friday to send every registered voter in California a mail-in ballot for the November presidential election.

The election won't be vote-by-mail only; those who still want to vote in-person will be able to do so. The governor said detailed guidelines on how in-person voting will work are forthcoming.

California is the first state in the nation to commit to sending everyone mail-in ballots amid the coronavirus pandemic, said Secretary of State Alex Padilla.

"There's no safer, physically distancing, healthier way to exercise your right to vote than from the safety and convenience of your own home," Padilla said. All return postage will be prepaid.

1. How soon before the RNC drags this into court as being "unfair" to them?

7. Why should they care?

With the turd's latest appointment as postmaster general, all mail-in ballots will be going to the turd. All the appropriate verifications will be done to make sure that the turd wins in a landslide. You can rest assured that the turd will make sure EVERY post office will have someone designated to receive ALL ballots sent through that post office. They WILL guarantee they have complete control over possession of the ballots.

You don't think that can happen? And how many other things that you didn't think could happen, have actually happened?

Vlad can take care of any computer voting. But the fact that more and more states are approving mail-in voting worries the turd, big time.

So he has taken care of THAT little problem.

We Are Fucked.

5. When I lived in California

I almost always voted by mail. They had a very efficient system. They know how to do elections.

8. It's not like California was going to go for Trump anyway

and we already have a Democratic supermajority.

Nice touch, though.

Really we should be the first state with online voting.

9. CA has been quietly heading in this direction for years

It's been doing test runs of all-mail ballots for a few elections now: San Mateo county did it in either 2016 or 2018, Santa Clara county (pop. 1.9M) did it for the recent March primaries. And all California voters have been eligible to sign up as permanent mail voters since the early 2000s.
