I applaud your cock-eyed optimism that Rick receiving his mother's ballot is unique.
I have answered your question please answer mine; Do you agree that applying for an absentee ballot is the correct way to approach vote by mail.

You've missed the point completely. The fact that I get my mom's ballot every election is not an indication that there is voter fraud, but it does indicate that governments, state and federal, are very inept and can not accurately identify who lives where, who is eligible to vote, and who is alive. Voting is one of the most important things we can do so it should be one of the most accurate as well. If people can cheat, they will. Not all people, but if just one is able to cancel my vote fraudulently, then that pisses me off and that should never happen. The best way to prevent voter fraud is to accurately identify who is eligible. Government is not accurate and has not been for a very long time, if ever. Giving people the opportunity to commit voter fraud is a failure of government, therefore we the people should demand that voting be as accurate as when I go the the doctor's office and present my ID and policy number so they know exactly who I am and there's no way for me to get care in someone else's name.koobookie wrote:

Then you take the position that voter fraud is very low in Colorado.
Secondly by inference you state that is Rick's duty to alert the Secretary of State as to their error. How do you know that he hasn't done that?
Third, you never answered as to whether you agree that applying for an absentee ballot is the correct way to approach vote by mail.
Oh well, as is your wont, nothing to see here, move onto another topic.
Given the fact that he said the ballots have been arriving for the past 10 years, it's a safe assumption that he has noted reported it. If I were in his place, that is what I would have immediately done. I would've considered it my civic duty.
Rick's situation is a single case. It does not necessarily extrapolate out to prove extensive voter fraud. As was referenced in the article I posted, voter fraud by mail is considered very low.
I think that the method currently in place by Colorado is working well, and is the best way, rather than using an absentee ballot. I used to love voting in person. It was a hassle, as sometimes I had to stand in the rain for quite some time, but now it's a breeze. I fill out the ballot and drop it in the drop boxes, which are conveniently located .
You never answered my question about why Trump and the GOP don't want mail in ballots.

I apologize. I should not have spoken for you. In no way did iI mean that you were committing voter fraud, rather pointing out the opportunity to do so. Again I apologize. na aside, one of the voters in line in Wisconsin said when asked why he was there, replied "people died for my right to do this, it is the least I can do."
Koobookie,
My old eyes cannot find your answer to my question: "Do you agree that applying for an absentee ballot is the correct way to approach vote by mail".
If it doesn't inconvenience you, please post your reply or simply answer the question.

From your answer you do not feel that in order to cast an absentee ballot one should not need to apply. Rather a ballot should be sent to the address on file. Is that correct?

Do you believe that a ballot should be sent to the address on record? Pretty simple, no?
If not how should one get their ballot by mail?
