Just have voting day on the freaking weekend.

Many battleground areas - what has changed over the past 4-5 days? The last debate? Hunter Biden Laptop story gaining traction maybe?

Anyone else see this as a positive sign for DJT?

Yes, I do.
It's not Trump voters who suddenly want to change!
And if 1/3 of the electorate has already voted, that means 2/3 have not. I'm sure the momentum since the second debate is in Trump's direction.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Apparently it's allowed in numerous states.

ETA: Trump likes the idea!

I have the same question. Once a ballot has been put in the ballot box (in-person voting) there is no way to identify who cast it. I guess they'd just take the word of the voter and subtract a vote for whomever the original was for and add one to the new choice. I don't see how they could know the truth. What if a vote was originally made for Biden, but the voter said he wanted to change his vote from Trump to Biden? If done, he'd have voted twice for Biden and canceled someone else's vote for Trump. That's fraud, in anyone's book.

The Lincoln Project is an extreme group of AntiTrumpers.

I just saw their latest ad and broke out laughing.

I don't know about all states, but here we have the ballot in an inner sealed envelope. And there is an outer envelope.

The voters name is on the envelopes, but once the ballot is removed from the sealed envelope, no name can be associated w the ballot.

So if the sealed envelope has not been opened, you could retrieve the unopened ballot. And then vote again.

And many states do not allow opening of ballots until election day.

One exception i know is New Jersey who was just given permission to start opening ballots and counting them early. Perfect for democrats to know how many more votes they'll need on election day.

Wow, that was HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!

For those too lazy to look up that twatter link, it shows a concerned (presumably) liberal mother waking her 12-yr old son. The conversation goes like this:

Mother: Hon, you wanted me to wake you to tell you how the election went.
Son: Who won?
Mother. Trump. Trump won (with most depressed delivery possible, as if she were giving her son a terminal cancer verdict).
Son: (confused, fearful) I thought he could only be president two times?
Mother: (with even more somber tone) Not any more.
Then there was some sort of chanting in the background resembling the old Nazi rallies. I couldn't make it out - it sounded like "No more years" or something. . .

I mean, they are SERIOUSLY trying to panic the American public into voting President Trump out over some contrived 'concern' that he will appoint himself dictator-for-life or something.

At least they have admitted to themselves that he will definitely win this election, though. . .

That only works for mail-in voting.

Actually, in regards to absentee ballots and not necessarily "mail-in", prior to this kerfuffle most states didn't open those outer envelopes until election day. At least that's what the county clerk told me, here in AL, just a week or so ago.

It was "four more years"...which was presumably recorded audio from a Trump re-election rally.

And, yes, that was the most pathetically sad ad ever.

I know it is supposed to be serious and scare you but I laughed too!

Hell that might make me vote twice!

My son and I went to the township office to pick up absentee ballots, we plan on dropping them off tomorrow. I asked the clerk if anyone had come in to change their vote. She said yes. Of course she didn't say how many had come in but she indicated several. To paraphrase Peter Struck the last time around, it should be 130,000,000 to 0
