Thank you very much baker for the tasty morning bread. Better than tits, a fresh mini dig for you.
A mini dig on states voting by mail
From an April 2020 article in The Atlantic:
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/04/voting-mail-2020-race-between-biden-and-trump/609799/
Washington
Oregon
Colorado
Utah* Voted for POTUS 2016 - 6 electoral votes
Hawaii (new this year)
California (new since article)
Six states have vote by mail for the state. Only Utah gave its 6 electoral votes to POTUS in that race. Given POTUS generous total in 2016, those six aren't cause for hysteria, especially if one considered other states that were D in 2016 could flip R 2020.
Also:
28 states have “no excuse or no fault mail balloting”
17 state use “ballot only for cause” standard
Only Oregon has a D Senator running. Colorado has a R senator running, so that could be a loss. Washington, Colorado, Utah, and Hawaii have no senate races.
Initial conclusion
Mail in ballots sound scary, but for now, the practice is not a hill to die on. Look to see if those squawking for the practice already represent one of the six states, and then plug your ears. Like most "news" these days, it's ain't.
