Agreed, that is a concern with all the things happening to suppress voters and rig things to help the felon trump.

Mail ballots have been a target for Republicans since Democrats widely embraced the voting method in the 2020 election.

This cycle, Republicans have filed more than 20 lawsuits related to mail voting, often seeking to have thrown out any mail ballot that does not strictly meet all of the requirements in state law, and seeking to eliminate any opportunities for voters to fix an error with mail ballots.
Mail in ballots seem to be their top target in the upcoming elections and their aim is to disqualify any ballot that is not perfect and no fixes allowed. Here in Nevada, we had to submit signature cards last week like those used by banks decades ago and I assume they were to validate our mail in ballots.

Good news is that the Republicans have lost most if not all of these types of challenges and hope the trend continues.

Not any where close to a battleground state here for us. Even thou state voted for Obama in 08.
We go in person on the way to the Y and get the I voted sticker. Usually less then 20 on the counter most elections. This year may be different.

Did the absentee ballot once didn't like it. During Covid IIRC.

I can never escape the irony of the name "Truth Social" a platform to trumpet Trumps lies.

In Trump world up is down and down is up.
