If people can riot without social distancing, they can certainly head down to their polling station.

And they also reportedly burned down a post office, proving that voting by mail is not secure for yet another reason.

So what makes the polling stations immune to being burnt down?

Democracy.

Are you suggesting the protestors don’t love democracy??

That’s a hot take I guess.

Florida has been voting by mail for twenty years, all you have to do is request a ballot. It works extremely well. California screwed up perhaps, but that can and will be fixed.

Wait - mail in voting was invented because of Covid??

I could have sworn I have used mail in voting before.

Amen. If they’re still scared, we can just hold elections at Wal-Mart or Lowes, since the virus apparently doesn’t spread there.

I’ve lived there for awhile, and that is an oxymoronic statement. They don’t fix things, They screw things up, then double down to make it worse.

And this will be the exception. The pressure from all sides will assure it. Go ahead and laugh, then admit that I was right when it comes to pass.

I’m not laughing, it is just acceptance of the inevitable when you have the stupid leading the apathetic.
