My mother doesn’t believe the virus’ spread is Trump’s fault or that he could have done anything differently. She lives in the middle of trump country. It’s all ‘China’s fault’ there. I mention this because even in the face of a world-wide pandemic, one that could have been mitigated & managed better on so many levels, people are *STILL* blinded to the evil of Trump & Republicans. A Republican could walk up and snatch the ballot directly out of their hands & they’d blame someone else. An “illegal” or a “felon” or “voter fraud”... it’s always “their” fault.

Do you sleep? I’ve just submitted my last essay to my professor. It was only 800 words and took me a week and half to finish. Your reporting is phenomenal. I appreciate and read all of your articles. You are able to clearly present hard facts so we can understand them.

I always vote from London. And even here, Republicans want to destroy this ability. There are 300,000 voting-age Americans in the UK.

We've had (optional) voting by mail for years where I live, and it's always worked very well.

First, Mitch the itch gotta go. Please do a column about the 2020 congressional race in his home state. Wtf is in the water down there? Second, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me understand how remote voting can work (in a functional country). Judd, you make the world a smarter place.

I can see those outdoor voter boxes disappearing and just like absentee ballots did in FLA in 2016 be hidden in a Warehouse or dropped in the sea.

Corruption in the GOP with Russian help. Who can we trust to provide security to mail-in ballots?

We are screwed. I have little faith that our Govt can handle the logistics and would do so righteously.

My jaundiced eye yellows more every day I see the Orangutan take the podium for a Covid-19 briefing.

Michigan now allows voting by mail for anyone who chooses to opt in. It also implemented same day registration. The GOP may have gerrymandered the legislature, but statewide referendums reflect the underlying moderate-left sentiment of the voters.

Thank you Judd for your always insightful, investigative pieces that shine a bright light on very dark people and deeds. You give me some hope for our future.
