    Switch to mail in voting nation-wide. Our current election infrastructure is a 3rd world embarrassment in many areas.

    I'm OK with that. But it can't be done in a few months. In a state that was about 3 million at the time it took over a year to set it up. There is absolutely no way a state should be allowed to go mail in for 2020, if they aren't set up that way already.

    You know, Trump should invoke the DPA to make that happen. I'm sure everyone would support it.

    Indeed.


    I doubt the Berners would have voted anyway.

    OK if one has to show up in person with verifiable ID and proof of citizenship. You also have to actually be alive and mentally functional. No ballot harvesting nationwide. Strict voter roll maintenance etc. I could live with that.

    You can't really expect someone to have to find their mailbox by themselves do you?

    Scrub voter rolls against DMV and State ID rolls and state income tax records. Nationwide voter roll sharing to insure no double, triple, quadruple voter registration. No DMV voter registration without a birth certificate. No voting for four years, then scrubbed and you have to re-register. Then talk to me since you seem equally concerned with a modern and accurate voter registration system that isn't run like a banana republic like California.

    Sounds like we’re all in agreement, mail in ballots it is.
