Sometimes that is true.

At no time were mail in ballots sent to everyone in the country. It varied according to state laws. In some states ballots were mailed to every registered voter. In other states (e.g. my state) one had to request a mail in ballot. In all cases no mail-in ballot would be accepted unless it was from a registered voter. AT> despite the fact that mail-in voting has been restricted AT> (by law) to military members who are deployed overseas, and to disabled AT> Americans (people who can't leave home.) Wrong. There are states that have had vote by mail-in ballots *ONLY* for years. In other states, who is eligible to vote by mail is due to state law. This year, many states opened up mail-in balloting due to the fact that the current Covid pandemic has caused in person balloting dangerous for many people. AT> Liberals will argue that "The votes of the American people should be AT> counted," but there's a double-standard. In a previous election, such AT> as when Barack Obama (Democrat) defeated Mitt Romney (Republican,) AT> there was no Republican movement to extend election day, and there was AT> no Republican movement to mass-mail absentee ballots to the entire AT> country "to make sure every voice is heard." AT> Republicans aren't perfect, but they are unwilling to stoop to such a AT> low level. Instead they have used voter suppression and gerrymanding to push the votes into their favor.
