I was told the following:

"no one is advocating for universal mail-in voting (although 5 states do currently conduct 100% via mail and one is that liberal strong hold of Utah). Even if we did it wouldn’t affect their capacity to deliver, or it wouldn’t have before Trump decided to sabotage the process. But people should be able to vote by mail if they desire, just as Trump and a large portion of his staff have."

This is from a "libertarian", too. People are seriously delusional.

Did everyone in the country just go completely retarded these past few months?

People are already able to vote just like Trump if they want. He voted absentee, and every state in the country offers absentee voting. Most states even expanded their absentee ballots, basically getting rid of any requirements for them: all you gotta do is ask. All that's left, the only way to expand access to mail in voting any more, is to go to universal. If no one is advocating that (you know, except the Speaker of the House) then what the hell is he even suggesting we do?

Also, why would a "libertarian" care if the Post Office is sabotaged? It wasn't, but wouldn't that be a libertarian move? Does that guy know what libertarian means?

Is this one of those "left libertarians" who are really just socialists who like guns?

Hasn’t spoken to Governor Murphy then?

New Jersey’s election will be primarily vote by mail.

You can vote in person but he’s massively limiting the number of polling places. AND you vote by provisional ballot.

All active registered voters will be mailed a ballot...

Sounds pretty fucking universal to me.

They forget states like Oregon which are 100% mail in ballot based update their voter rolls regularly and have a decent security process. (What I don't understand is WHY do they need the entire state to vote only by mail? If you're too lazy to go to the polls I don't want you deciding what happens in my life). Plus this is such a NON controversy. People who can't make it to the polls or are high risk for the China virus can just request an absentee ballot. This MASS mailing of ballots is fucking absolutely outrageous. What BOILS my blood is their attempt to eliminate the signature requirement! Are you kidding me?!
