    Red Utah embraces Mail-In Balloting

    "Earlier this year (Trump)" said that if states convert to by-mail voting, “You’d never have a Republican elected in this country again.”

    Republican Utah’s experience shows otherwise."

    https://www.sltrib.com/news/politics...esident-trump/

    “Voting by mail works really well in Utah,” says Justin Lee, state elections director for GOP Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox. “We have high turnout. We’ve had really minimal problems in the last few rounds.” About the only fraud reported was some parents voting for their children on missions for Utah’s predominant faith, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."

    Anyone who thinks that Utah isn't corrupt is naive. I have the confidential settlement to prove it.

    Some races in New York and New Jersey with an ostensible voting date weeks ago have still not been able to tally the mail-in votes.

    I mail my vote every year. There was fraud when Obama was elected (my results weren't counted), it was ok last time, and there will probablt be fraud again this time (my guy loses).

    I'm curious, how do you know that your vote wasn't counted?
    I have often wondered if mine was counted.

    I don't know for sure. I'm jumping to irrational conclusions because my vanity won't let me believe I might possibly be out of step with mainstream Americans.

    I know this stuff is life or death, but some of you take it way too seriously.

    “Seriously?”...yeah. Like Redd Foxx’ Fred G. Sanford, I think this election is The Big One, Elizabeth (clutching my chest)! If Biden & his ilk grab control of the Executive and Congress, he and they have given notice that they will be “the most progressive administration in our history,” and I believe them. More than progressive, Biden has bought in to Comrade Bernie’s agenda hook, line & sinker — open borders, massive grants of citizenship to d’rat voting illegals, D.C. statehood & 2 new D’rat senators, free college, reparations, higher taxes, soak the rich, universal health care even to immigrants who paid zip into it, lunatic Green New Deal programs, submissive China policy, beat up what’s left of the police, SCOTUS court packing, Command & Control out your ass. Biden actually signed a 60 page written agreement with Sanders to seal his unit with those Marxists. Much of it was plagiarized word for word from Sanders boilerplate dogma. Joe is practiced and good a plagiarism. To them “liberty” is a word on a nickel from a hundred years ago. Everything is geared to assure a stranglehold on the electorate for the duration.

    They mean to be good masters, but they mean to by God be the masters. You will be assimilated or cancelled. Take your pick.

    I think that has now been closed---but not certain.

    While that is not fraud it is untenable and must be corrected.

    We had (we because I wanted to add federal lands to it) a comprehensive list somewhere of all of the benefits of a Biden victory. I just wish Joe could remember all he is soon to accomplish.

    You can relax, I share your concern for our republic and I'm in the bag.

    Voting records are easy to check, my friends.

    Why does Utah consider me a Republican? Because I vote as a Republican.

    Don't you have to declare one party or the other? That way you get the party primary ballot as for the general election you can vote for anyone you choose.

    Utah has universal mail-in balloting, as I understand. Question to Utah because I am too lazy to look it up: what measures does the state take, if any, to assure the ballot mailed out is sent to an eligible voter, and what measure to assure that voter signed and sent back the completed ballot? What is the verification process in Utah?

    Yep - you have to declare a party in Utah. However, if designated a Republican, you can vote in both primaries as well as the final election. And, Repubs locked the Demos out of the process - so it opens the door for RINOS like me to be right there during the whole process. Yes, there IS a GOD - and he wants me to vote.

    For Joe, the mailers are tracked and must be signed - an election Judge compares my signature to those on file.
