I see a lot of complaining about voting by mail. Despite the rants of the current white house applicant, the only impact of voting by mail is that more people vote.
He is mostly afraid of more people voting. Because the main strategy of his party is to keep voting limited to Republican supporters who are most concentrated in older white voters. This is a declining base and they might be losing them too.
They are lucky to have won the last election and that victory has lasting consequences with our courts as they pack them with true believers.
It might be secondary to the danger it is doing to the environment and equal rights. So it is hopefully a lesson learned by young people who didn't vote because the Democratic candidate wasn't perfect.
There are no perfect candidates but an election gives you a choice. Each choice matters and if you think they don't you find yourself deep in student debt, without health care, waiting for the climate floods and avoiding a deadly virus.
