Trying to quash mail in ballots in the midst of the current pandemic could/should backfire on him. I imagine the current polls have the little boy peeing in his pants.

I try to make the point to MAGAheads that it's the right of every registered voter to vote by mail. An absentee ballot is a vote by mail. And in a majority of the country you can ask for and absentee ballot without having to give a reason.

Trump's base would benefit from absentee voting as much as Biden's. But he has to try and suppress the vote somehow. The more people vote the bigger chances he loses.

Technically what he's raging against is Universal Mail-In voting. In mostly western Democratic states, you get the mail-in ballot sent to you automatically. You don't even have to ask for it. There's no indication that's happening in the states that matter. A voter who doesn't want to deal with election day during a pandemic still has to request a ballot.

And if I was an American in one of these Battleground states, I'd be asking for one last month. Because you know it'll get delayed somehow.
