Frank, I certainly hope you're just enjoying stirring the pot. People have been "providing" ID and voting for many years by mail. I did and you probably did. I'm sure they will continue to do so. You certainly know it's not an either/or proposition.
Well I do just enjoy stirring the pot, but I'm 46 years old and never showed ID to vote except for one time in 2012, unless you count the paper voter ID card that the department of elections sent me every 2 years. To be fair, I didn't vote in 2016, and my wife filled out my mail-in ballot in 2020. I don't plan on ever voting again, to be honest, because it's the least productive thing any adult human being ever does.

So to say that this is a "large block" of voters is probably a little bit of an exaggeration. Even if it's not, I think that any reasonable person would realize that restricting all mail-in ballots would net Republicans a positive expected value.
Hmm, maybe. While we're assuming, let's also assume that about half the wives will vote with their husbands, also by mail-in ballot. So, let's say you're in charge of one of the parties, and you're perfectly willing to abandon 1.4 million votes? You don't think they'll make any difference?
Then there are those with civilian jobs who are also working out-of-state...think about it. Maybe 2 million votes? You don't want them? Or, perhaps you think they'll vote against your guy? It doesn't add up, to me. Elections have been won, or lost, by margins like this.

Sorry brother I have to correct you there. Wives must claim residency in the state in which they reside. There is no special exemption for them. My wife was a resident of every state that I was stationed in.
And since we're talking corrections, I'm also a DOD employee and I'm also not allowed to claim a state in which I do not live.
If you work in one state and live in the other, you vote in your state of residence.
Well, there's a change. Pretty sure my wife mailed hers in, again, it was a long time ago, so I may be wrong. I'm one of those pitiful humans who's often wrong.
I'm still not tossing 600,000 votes, but you might, seeing as how you think it's a waste of time anyway.

No I may be crazy but I'm not stupid lol. If I can lose 600,000 votes on my side and force the other side to lose 3 million or more, then it's a win for me. That's all I'm saying brother.
Your wife may have mailed hers in and it may have changed since then, but I know since 1994 anyways, that spouses did not get to claim home state preferences.
Because they already sacrificed Martha Stewart, silly.

I love when people who disagree with a person's politics they attack the person directly. Like children on a playground.... "well....well...... my dad will beat up your dad!"
I don't make fun of people just for having a different political affiliation than me, @Vision. I poke fun at Biden from time-to-time because of the way he conducts himself.

Yeah that's right. He was making fun of a reporter who had cerebral palsy or something else. I posted it up there in response to the topic of that day, which was that it's okay to make fun of someone when they're fuckīng moronic, which was to say that this was my justification for making fun of trump....

I knew what you were getting at. I meant that it was lame that you were flagged, in case there was any confusion.

Was probably just a fat finger mistake. My point of view is that both were right….one was an a$$hole and the other guy is a dumbass.

We all read your posts that why we refer to you as fūcking frank. You're my favorite energy vampire
Why is it democrats hate the idea of providing proof of ID to vote so much? It's almost as if they don't want a fair election.

So we are back to the original 600,000.

Of course not, Biden was/is the big medias candidate. They will handle him with kid gloves.

Lame. Maybe some context will help. Wasn't he making fun of a mentally challenged person/people ? I don't recall.
I belive he was making fun of someone mentally or physically handicapped @CharlieHeis. It was very bad form on his part.

Trump's problem is that he was a good president but a horrible human being. Biden is a bad president and fumbling human being.
