1. Guess this is why Drumpf's railing about voter fraud again

[Cha]

2. Right ON New Mexico!

[Warpy]

16. NM is just a baby step away from 100% vote by mail, anyway

because we got paper ballots in 2005 after the blatant election theft in 2004.

Republicans will undoubtedly send out illegal, alternative ballots because that's how crooks roll, so this year will be a mess. Jail enough of them, and maybe 2024 won't be.

3. what about WI, MI, PA and AZ?

[left-of-center2012]

5. "what about WI, MI, PA and AZ?"

New Mexico has no control over those states.

10. Arizona has voting by mail

and we can request to be on the Permanent Early Voting List. I've done it for at least 15 years.
From the Arizona Secretary of State website:

"Arizona has a proud history of secure and reliable voting by mail. Most Arizonans already vote by mail, allowing them to fill out their ballot from the comfort of their home and then mail it back or drop it off at any drop-box or voting location in their county. Due to COVID-19, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recommended(link is external) early voting and voting by mail when possible.

There are two ways to get a ballot-by-mail: (1) join the Permanent Early Voting List; or (2) make a one-time request for a ballot-by-mail. Follow the simple steps below to get your ballot-by-mail and ensure you have a safe, secure, and reliable option for voting in this year’s elections."

12. this is great

[Nevilledog]

23. Yup.

Permanent early voter here.

[Cal Carpenter]

21. Michigan already sent out absentee applications to everyone

for our August primary, and will do it again for November

[duhneece]

4. And if this DUer is elected..

New Mexico will have a better chance of sending ballots (instead of applications for ballots) to every registered voter.

[niyad]

6. You will do a fabulous job.

[duhneece]

8. DU has schooled me well

I’ve learned more from DU than all the other sources I’ve been exposed to.

[niyad]

9. DU is a truly remarkable resource.

[BadgerMom]

7. I'd love to see a permanent vote-by-mail option made available.

California has one. It’s no-muss, no-fuss for the voter. Your ballot comes by mail for every election. I’d imagine that simplifies things for county registrars as well.

For now, though, I’m happy for the improvement.

[duhneece]

11. Washington has the same

I will work toward this.

[BadgerMom]

19. Do you have a contribution link?

[panader0]

22. Her name is Denise Lang-Browne.

You have to join her site with e-mail and password.
I'm thinking she will need donations as her sought district is 33, a rich, red area.

24. TY

[whopis01]

15. Best of luck! n/t

[geardaddy]

13. We just got our absentee ballot applications here in MN

[dalton99a]

14. Kick

17. In the meanwhile....

The cowardly bully DJT can vote by mail, get tested daily and never leave his bunker except for failed rallies but most of us must take our chances and wait in line.

[KS Toronado]

18. When Joe's in the White House.......

Hope they pass a law requiring all states to allow vote by mail.

[Hortensis]

20. :) CONGRESS legislates. Happily, the majority house Democrats already

addressed voting procedures.

First day they had the power, we passed the For the People bill, a giant democracy rescue package. We're waiting on getting it through the senate of course. Automatic voter registration because everyone has the right to vote, and much more.

I don't remember all that's in the elections portion of the bill, but mail-in voting has become so important that if it wasn't there it'd be added. But I imagine it is. It's on line for anyone who wants to look.

[KS Toronado]

25. Mail in voting was in the "For the People bill", all we need is a senate to vote on it

26. Nice Going New Mexico!

Proud of my my Birth State, entered this world in Albuquerque.
