55. Mail In Voting and The Weather

Mar 15

I just wonder if the people who decided to discourage or even eliminate mail in voting ever considered how weather can affect voter turnout. It seems to me that Southern states and probably AZ as well can still have some uncomfortable days in November. States that have plenty of retirees, such as AZ and FL could have diminished turnouts of the demographic group that votes regularly if it's raining in FL or sunny in AZ on election day. Then there's the possibility of people who live in assisted living centers and nursing homes not being able to vote if mail in voting is stopped. Of course, they may be willing to forego the retiree vote if they support the threats to cutback Medicare and get rid of Social Security. Yes, they could be that intentionally cruel and foolish at the same time.
