The ridiculous claim that millions of foreign “universal ballots” will flood the system fails to point out the obvious: Every state’s ballots are unique to each county within that state. Senators, Representatives, and local officials appear on the General Election ballot. Hand-marked paper ballots. I intend to take my mail-in ballot to my city’s early polling place and drop it off during early voting. I’m not taking a chance on the machines this year; last year a group of high school seniors were able to hack into Florida’s new voting machines and change votes for a demonstration of the machines’ vulnerability. Check with your county and find out if you can drop off your mail-in ballot during early voting.
Please tell me that we're all on a really bad acid trip and we're all hallucinating the same nightmares and when we come down, this really won't be happening. He is held accountable for absolutely nothing. Makes me want to puke.
Decent Americans across the country understand that while he may not have been their first choice as a candidate, the ONLY rational choice they have in November is to vote for Joe Biden. Unfortunately, too many among us are irrational, or they would recognize behavior & rationalizations like Barr's for the arrogant attempts to deceive us that they are.
With Trump gone, with Barr gone, with McConnell, McCarthy, Jordan, & the rest gone, we stand a chance at preserving the ideals, if not always the practices of what our country was founded on.
Even though I live in a reliably blue state, and even though I have voted by mail for the last three Presidential elections, I will put on my mask and vote in person this year. I can't and won't take the chance that my vote will be invalidated.
Thanks for this Amee, but I have a good deal of worry regarding out upcoming election. With Trump encouraging voter fraud, his base is likely to vote more than once & Barr will likely keep those who do from being charged with any crimes. What then? Do we just go ahead & allow Trump to be an illegitimate president again? I still don't understand why he is the sitting president today after it was proven that Russia interfered in the 2016 election & paved the way for Trump to win. Why did he get to go forward as president instead of being removed? I get I just don't get it.
Remember the Voter Fraud Task Force or whatever he called it that was supposed to ferret out all the fraud back in 2017? Those millions and millions of people who voted illegally? It was headed by Kris Korbach and then quietly disbanded a year or so later because he couldn't find any. In the absence of actual fraud Trump has to create it. It is an act of desperation and I fear it could work.

*THIS* is how NBC’s headline should have read this morning. You hit the nail on the head Amee
It is so extremely frustrating. I'm generally an optimist, but I am so nervous about this election.

Since 2013, Colorado has successfully voted by mail. There are stragically placed drop
boxes to securely collect our ballots. We also have poll stations open for
in-person voting.
No matter what Trump Barr say we have to keep focus and our peripheral vision should be dead-locked on Election Day.
I can almost see it in sight!
We have to VOTE in HUUGE numbers!
We HAVE to end this insanity... ASAP
Trump is trying like hell to wear us down. We must use this energy to push back and refuse to accept their behavior as normal.

I live in a red state. I have decided to do the same thing. And I'm voting early before the debates maybe the lines won't be as long.
Headphones in hand. 👊
