Nearly one in five of all absentee and mail-in-ballots between 2012 and 2018 remain unaccounted for, according to data from the federal Election Assistance Commission. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2020/

2. WTF does that even mean? Only 4/5 of people who received them actually bothered to vote?

SO FUCKING WHAT?

What, are they just going to re-use the old ballot the next election?

Doesn't work that way, numbskull.

4. My husband and I have been voting absentee and mailing our ballots in since 2004.

I have had zero reasons to suspect a rigged system. I even have a way to check to see if our ballots have been received.

If tRump has evidence of a rigged system, I invite him to share what he knows.

Put up or shut up, Maggot breath.

So, surprise surprise, he's a hypocrite and full of hooey.

There are safe guards in place and mail in/absentee ballots have been used without huge issues that I recall ever hearing about by the military and other registered US voters overseas as well as disabled, very ill, etc for quite a long time.
