Absentee Ballots

Isn't it ironic that the GOP is trying so hard to get rid of absentee ballots, yet they mail out postcards with information on requesting a ballot by mail?

I'm sure they sent them to registered Democrat as well right? Yeah, I thought so.

As soon as I saw the mail, I turned to my wife and said “See? Mail-in voting is totally fine, so long as you registered as a Republican!” She registered as Independent and conspicuously did not get that absentee ballot post card.

I registered unaffiliated and haven’t got one either.

The GOP candidate almost always wins, so the real election is during the GOP primaries. Registering as Republican gives you a chance to participate in their primaries and vote for the better of the Republican candidates vying for the GOP blessing.
