I am not crazy about Trump’s ban on mail in voting EO.
I think the best argument against the Dems HR-1 or whatever it was bill was that it federalized elections.
Once you let the cat out of the bag where states lose power in determining election laws then the Dems will one day ensure Rs never win any elections again.
I hate mail in voting, but an EO is not the way to address it.

I agree, Jason. The Constitution as amended gives little power to the Federal government over elections. The only thing the feds can do is choose the time and day of the Presidential election, and to insure all states submit their electors on the same day. It says nothing about elections for Representatives or Senators.

The vote by mail process down here in Florida works well. There are signature requirements and other verification measures to ensure fraud is eliminated. I don’t understand why instead of fighting a battle to eliminate it, why not try and get these type of measures applied nationwide

Have there been any leaks on the proposed security guarantees for Ukraine? I would think they would need to. be rather robust and tangible this time around. After the prior guarantees given to encourage them to give up their nukes were easily waived away by Obama and the Brits, I think they are owed something more ironclad to encourage land concessions this time around. I would think Boots on the ground to be part of the mix, but I haven’t seen anything.

The issue of mail in ballots…
Firstly, we have in person, election day voting.
Secondly, we now have weeks and weeks of “early voting” prior to election day.
Thirdly, we have absentee ballots, whereby people who are not going to be able to vote on election day (or early voting days) can still have a way to vote if they are out of state on vacation or whatever or going to be undergoing a surgery and hospitalized for an extended period.
Fourthly, we now allow overseas voting for those Americans living, going to school, working in other countries.
Fifthly, we have mail in ballots. Which EXPLODED in POPULARITY supposedly due to CROWVID.
*****************
I DO think MAIL IN voting is very RIPE for fraud. I do not really see why we do allow for widespread mail in voting.
IMO–MAIL IN VOTING SHOULD BE RESTRICTED, if not eliminated altogether (I would still favor absentee ballots being allowed)
You can vote on election day,
or early voting days,
or vore an overseas ballot if you are in another country on military duty or working or going to school there,
or apply for and get an absentee ballot if you are going to be out of state or in hospital, or away on your honeymoon, or whatever
We really do NOT need to have 1/3 or more of all ballots to be mail in ballots.
–it clogs an already dysfunctional ad expensive mail system
–it costs more money for state governments to mail out all the mail in ballots and costs more to create and monitor numerous “drop off points”to collect mail in ballots
–it causes tons more work for local election officials
–it is an insecure system regarding chain of custody
–increase the likelihood of double voting of people who live in state A but are going to school and living on campus in college in state B; or who vote “early” in state they just moved from and then vote again in state where they just moved to and legally registered
–it encourages ballot harvesting at nursing homes, apartment complexes, etc.
–it is NOT a secret ballot since others could get hold of and fill out the ballot, or coerce or bribe the voter to vote a certain way
–it is a lazy man’s way of voting where those casting mail in ballots are the most likely to be the least informed voters concerning issues.

Tina, but does that preclude European troops? I don’t think the Ukraine would ever concede to give up any Russian occupied land without something like that, particularly after they were so screwed with those prior, fake guarantees after handing over the nukes.

Last year I was provided a Goldman Sachs report on US food inflation. If I recall correctly, a majority of food price inflation was related to soaring fertilizer costs (not labor, like I had thought), which were significantly impacted by this conflict. They estimated If the conflict resolved allowing for the importation of Russian/Ukrainian fertilizer components again, it would result in a significant fertilizer based food price reduction within six months of conflict termination. I forget the estimated percentage but it was pretty good. So, aside from the lives saved, there is a real financial benefit to the world economy if we can come to a just peace here. Hopefully they can pull it off.
