My wife just read to me a tweet (or whatever) where a husband was making his wife vote by mail so he could guarantee she voted for Trump.
I feel like he should be charged for voting twice. If she doesn’t get to pick who to vote for, she’s not voting, he is. Send him to jail for 15 years (or for whatever they sent that woman who cast the provisional ballot because she was told she could and then she wasn’t eligible to vote in the end).
That’s actually the one coherent argument I’ve seen against voting by mail. But if someone is that closely dominated, voting is only one of their problems. I don’t think depriving everybody else of voting by mail is the right way to handle it.
The solution I’ve heard is you’re able to go to the elections office after mailing your ballot and void the mailed one and vote in person. Depending on the level of control/oversight may be not realistic for everyone, but again, at that point I’m more concerned about the human than the vote and were talking a whole other problem to solve.
They think this is what everyone does. They publicly virtue signal that they oppose whichever bad thing so they can condemn others for doing it while secretly doing it themselves. It’s ok when they do it themselves anyway, because they are good people doing a necessary thing for good reasons. When others find out about their behavior, their reaction is to accuse harder, because they assume we are all doing that too and they are angry that we didn’t get caught yet.

Yes, I agree. I think the solution for these case is to crack down on illegally voting this way.
The irony of these guys complaining about vote manipulation conspiracies while manipulating votes.
