Note the Title: "MASS-Mail" voting, not "Absentee" voting.
The distinction: Absentee ballots are specifically requested by the particular voter. They typically require some kind of justification; i.e. overseas or otherwise out of home-State, hospitalized or otherwise less able to travel, and one or two other recognizable reasons.
Mass-mail ballots are those simply mailed out to every "eligible" voter, usually using old registration lists. There is no chain of custody, no way to trace them, and many citizens would not know if one was even mailed to them.
People argue that this it the new "fair and equitable" way to assure "every vote counts."
We are seeing now how that appears to be untrue. We have evidence of ballot harvesting, fraudulent votes, buying votes, and worst of all...invalid votes all being counted.
Historically, it is the Democrat Party that has (with few exceptions) been the Party of voter "tampering."
Recall all those old horror stories about voter suppression? This occurred mostly in the Democrat controlled South. That's where we found polls taxes, reading and writing requirements, and other voters suppression methods.
Even when the Democrats "swung" under President Johnson, it was (allegedly) to gain control of the "Black Vote."
But where have we still seen shennanigans in elections? Under Democrat jurisdictions. Most notably? Those Florida counties where in both 2000 and 2016 "lost ballots" heavily Democrat suddenly appeared to delay the final election results.
Now we have the Democrats NEW voter suppression, under the guise of "every vote counting?" Mass-mail ballots.
Using Covid-19 fears as an excuse, the Democrats have forced through mass-mail voting and now we are dealing with an election with ever worse issues than Bush v. Gore 2000.
IMO this was planned, and an expected outcome, as States Trump was crushing it in the actual in-person voting have been swung into Democrat hands via "mass-mail" voting.
IMO just more evidence of Democrat Party desires to undermine the system and perpetuate themselves as the sole Party in a single-Party controlled nation...much like was see in both the old Soviet Union, the current China, and everyone where else (Venezuela) where single Party-rule shows how tings go.
