Amid criticism over mail-in voting, Trump requests absentee ballot
The request allows Trump and the first lady to vote remotely as Palm Beach County, Florida, residents.

President Donald Trump, whose campaign has tried to thwart mail-in voting, has requested an absentee ballot that will allow him to cast a Florida primary ballot via the U.S. Postal Service.
The request to vote remotely as a Palm Beach County, Florida, resident was confirmed Thursday night by White House Deputy Press Secretary, Judd Deere.
"The President supports absentee voting, not universal mail-in voting, which contain several safeguards that prevent fraud and abuse," Deere said by email.

Mail in voting IS absentee voting, and the same safeguards are in place for both....because they are *the same*.
But apparently, his supporters are stupid enough to believe that this is OK because he will sign it in ink, where mail in votes are signed by pen.

Me too, as well as specifically why mail-in voting is supposed to be more vulnerable to fraud than absentee voting is? Further, what are the differences between them at all?I'm waiting for one of the cultist rubes to explain how its OK for him...but not the American public. :roll:
May I have the Blue Pill please?This is the perfect storm.
Many in America think... “Can’t happen here right”.
Let me paint you a picture.
What if Trumps attempts to stifle mail in voting work... Too well, perhaps better than he and his lackey hoped it would.
And millions upon millions of votes go uncounted.
And he wins.
At the same time Senate Republicans have just lit the fuse on a nuclear bomb by not reaching a deal and ****ed off til September.
Millions could be thrown into the streets.
This is a powder keg ready to blow.
Because of where I come from and my own background people may think I’m being hyperbolic or that I’m being silly, but the truth is, you’ve never experienced how bad things can get and they can happen just like that.
Think about how quickly Coronavirus changed your life and our new reality.
The Pandora’s box Trump is opening with this transparent attempt to rig the election along with everything else that is happening could be far, far more devastating than any of you realize, even those who don’t like him.
Now we get to find out just how deep the rabbit hole goes.

It isn't. And when you ask the disinformation agents here, they will not have an answer, they just shuck and jive.

With "mail in voting", A ballot is sent to every voter on record, to the last known address of said voter. If the voter has moved, died, or for what ever reason, isn't at the address on record, it goes there anyway.
"Absentee ballots ", which is the way most military vote, must be requested. That's done every election.
Considering the recent flubs by the post office, tasking them with handling "mail in ballots" from 130+ million would be foolish and fool hardy.

If 5% of absentee ballots are fraudulent that’s bad enough, but when thousands of ballots suddenly appear in the back of someone’s truck, that is serious.
“By any means necessary” is an abandonment of all ethics and principles, so hell yes the democrats will do what they can get away with.

Not everywhere.
I requested a mail in ballot. And, it was signature verified.
The post office can handle it...however, if someone were to sabotage the post office for his own political gains......

Which way is easier to sabotage? Voting in person (as we always have), or mailing it in? How easy would it be for a zealous partisan to "loose" ballots coming from well known Republican/Democrat district?
I've seen millions of people "protesting", going to the store/bar/ etc. Why are the dems so insistent on mail in voting? Do you really believe it's because they are "concerned" for your health?

And that is totally reasonable.Not only are Trump and his new Postmaster General (appointed in June) sabotaging the United States Postal Service, but Trump will demand that any mail-in votes not counted by 11:59pm on November 3 are no longer legitimate.
Trump is busy creating the conditions in which X number of votes can't be counted in a timely manner with his Postmaster General removing sorting machines and closing Post Offices.

Sorry, this is a myth.The state of Colorado has used mail in voting for years, with no problems.
