Trump did a good job convincing his base that the mail-in vote
is the evil tool of the Democrats. Trump gave them an alternative,
when it appeared that coronavirus might keep Trump voters at home.
Requested absentee ballots from Republican states! Not dangerous and wicked
Democrat systems, that automatically mail out ballots, a soothing message to
Trump voters.
Trump's popularity is not exactly soaring to new heights, since many people
are dropping dead from coronavirus, in areas that Trump counts on for votes.
Many are finding out about the fact that coronavirus can maim, if it does not kill.
Some have discovered that Trump has been telling lies about coronavirus-
They found out the hard way, that coronavirus is not "Fake News."

Florida is facing such dire financial straits that Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) jokingly
has likened his budget cuts to the “red wedding,” the bloody slasher scene
from HBO’s “Game of Thrones.”
But some government officials in the Sunshine State really have been at each other's
throats in recent weeks, clawing over fast-dwindling federal coronavirus aid as they
stare down a disaster of their own.
The coronavirus outbreak is still worsening in Florida, one of the hardest-hit states
in the country. But it has taken on added urgency given the political stalemate in
Washington, which already forced some city and state leaders to lay off 1.6 million
workers and slash their spending-

Asked on Fox & Friends about Hillary Clinton accusing him of sabotaging
the Postal Service, Trump immediately pivots to bashing Clinton and never
denies that that's what he's up to

Mail Fuckery
Trump and his spinners are suddenly freaking out about Florida. Here’s why.
(The spinners used Lara Trump to send the message- She is telling lies for them.)

Trump and Republicans are relying on state laws in virtually all the swing states
that, among other things, invalidate mail ballots that are postmarked before election
day but arrive after it. This is what you might call a "safeguard.” Meanwhile, Trump’s
handpicked chief of the U.S. Postal Service is implementing reforms that are unleashing
large mail delivery delay.
Those state laws could make the disenfranchising effects of those delays worse,
voting rights experts say, by resulting in untold numbers of ballots that arrive late
being invalidated. Democrats are litigating in those states to get late-arriving ballots
accepted. Trump and Republicans are fighting against that, screaming about fraud.
"...Brian Beutler points out, is the fact that Florida has a lot of seniors.
Older voters can be expected to vote promptly and thus see votes counted
by Election Day even if they vote by mail. Seniors are both a key Trump
demographic and are rightly terrified of the pandemic Trump did so much
to exacerbate."

Mitch McConnell dragged the coronavirus relief arguments out, let the safety net lapse,
last week. Republicans presented a half-hearted, less-than-half-arsed ideas about how to
provide money for the hideous coronavirus disaster. Did Trump's enforcers kick "Moscow
Mitch"in the seat of his pants ? Suddenly, Mitch is talking about letting his August vacation
float away.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told CNN that senators will
“certainly be in next week,” delaying the start of the chamber's August recess.
"We'll certainly be in next week. We'll see what happens after that," McConnell said.
White House officials Steve Mnuchin and Mark Meadows set a deadline to negotiate
with Democrats for the end of the week. It’s unclear if they will meet that.
GOP Sen. Roy Blunt, a member of leadership, argued that if there wasn’t a deal,
members might as well go home.
“If there’s not a deal by Friday, there won’t be a deal,” Blunt said.

As of now, unlike Florida, most of the major swing states automatically mail out
applications for absentee ballots. This is not the same as mailing out ballots
(the sort of “Democrat-imposed” systems Lara Trump referenced).
That’s only done in a handful of states, mostly ones that do all
vote-by-mail elections. Nevada will now mail out ballots;
hence the president’s rage.
