You know that, I know that, huge numbers of voters in this country know that- but unfortunately, equally large numbers of folks are just going to hear Trump’s babbling about “voter fraud” and take it for granted…..

Trump is turning this into a partisan issue:

The poll found 65% of Americans support vote-by-mail as an alternative, a greater than 2-to-1 margin over the 32% of Americans who oppose the option. Three percent said they were undecided.

Findings differ dramatically by party. Eighty-four percent of Democratic voters said they support voting by mail and just 14% said they oppose it. Less than half of Republicans polled, 43%, said they support vote-by-mail as an alternative while more than half, 53%, were opposed.

Self-identified independent voters said they back vote-by-mail during the pandemic by a 66%-31% margin.

That poll is from the end of April. I really hope we are at the “darkest just before the dawn” part of our long national nightmare.
