This is such a perverse argument from McEnany. If she is so disconnected and absent from her home state that she’s voted absentee 11 straight times in the last decade, she should have changed her voter registration to the state where she resides a long time ago. Otherwise, she’s an outsider trying to exert undue influence in someone else’s election.

This is Trump’s election strategy. He has no campaign and no vision for the future of this country. All the Trump campaign has is hate and vitriol.

There need not be a reason for anyone to vote by mail if that’s what they want. What’s it to you?
Oh ya, you don’t want people to vote, which is your only way of staying in power.

She’s states that she got on the bandwagon with Trump because of advice that it would make her successful. Go figure.
(She’ll be all the more successful if she’s recording what’s said in the White House. In a couple of months, she could write a tell-all that would guarantee her boundless success. I wonder if she’s able to parse that.)

They are counting on republicans to go vote because they aren’t afraid of CoVID 19, while democrats will stay home to protect themselves and miss voting. This is why they are against mail in ballots. It’s the updated, nuts and bolts version of “low turnout helps republicans” idea. This cynical calculation misses the fact that Trump’s base is being killed off by the virus because they aren’t afraid of it. By Nov, enough of them may have learned or died.

Ours came on Saturday, and my wife and I both thought it was a scam offer at first. She wanted me to cut it up and toss it.
There’s a light Treasury Department seal (looks like a watermark) in one corner of the “offer letter” and there’s some fine print on the back explaining this is from the government, but overall it looks just like an un-requested debit card offer.
I’d love to know what kind of deal this “Money Network Cardholder Services” got for this.

The right-wingers and GOP are correct on voter fraud and voting by mail. The Dems want to use voting-by-mail to facilitate nation-wide fraud. To wit:

](https://www.washingtonpost.com/?itid=home_link_ss)Trump made Florida his official residence. He may have also made a legal mess.
Documents raise questions about the president’s switch to a Florida domicile and have preservationists accusing him of breaking a promise not to call Mar-a-Lago home.

For nearly a quarter-century, President Trump has envisioned boats docking at Mar-a-Lago, his swanky club set on 17 acres of prime real estate in Palm Beach, Fla., that rambles across manicured grounds between the beach and the placid waters of the Lake Worth Lagoon and the Intracoastal Waterway.
Trump’s quest has, predictably, irked his wealthy neighbors, sparking one of those pesky territorial squabbles that occupy town halls and zoning boards in tony neighborhoods across the country. But the attempt by Trump and his legal team to squeeze through approval of his dock while the nation’s attention is trained on the coronavirus pandemic is now surfacing a potentially nettlesome problem for the president.
Digging into the catacombs of local records to build an argument against the dock, a small group of loosely aligned preservationists, disgruntled neighbors and attorneys have unearthed documents that they assert call into question the legality of Trump’s much-publicized decision late last year to change his official domicile from Manhattan to Mar-a-Lago and to register to vote in Florida using the club’s address. According to those documents, and additional materials obtained by The Washington Post, Trump agreed in writing years ago to change the use of the Mar-a-Lago property from a single-family residence to a private club owned by a corporation he controls.

The distinction is significant. The property is taxed as a private club — not as a residence, according to Palm Beach County property appraiser records. Trump’s own attorney assured local officials in Palm Beach before they voted to approve the club in 1993 that he would not live there. Mar-a-Lago’s website says only that Trump maintains “private quarters” at the club.
“It’s one or the other — it’s a club or it’s your home,” Reginald Stambaugh, an attorney who represents a neighbor opposed to Trump’s dock plan, said in a recent interview. “You can’t have it both ways.”
If Stambaugh and his client have their way and persuade Palm Beach to stand firm on its long-standing agreement, Trump will be forced to make a choice, he said: Stop operating Mar-a-Lago as a club and make it a single-family home again or change his official domicile to someplace else.
White House and Mar-a-Lago officials did not respond to interview requests.

Trump could have voted in person in Florida this year but chose not to
](https://www.cnn.com/profiles/kevin-liptak-profile)By Kevin Liptak, CNN
As President Donald Trump rolled to his West Palm Beach, Florida, golf course on the morning of March 7, his motorcade filed past a library where local officials were preparing for the first day of in-person early voting in Florida’s presidential primary contest.Trump didn’t stop at that site or any of the 15 other early voting locations in Palm Beach County that were opening that day. By the time the library opened for voting at 10 a.m., Trump had already arrived at his golf course — whose main entrance is across Summit Boulevard from the library. When he departed the course hours later, he didn’t stop to vote either.
Trump would drive past the library four more times that weekend without dropping in to cast a ballot. Instead, he voted by mail – the very option he has begun railing against as governors seek to expand remote voting amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Trump has demonized the practice as rife with fraud and an attempt at swaying elections toward Democrats, claims that aren’t based in fact. On Tuesday, he criticized efforts in California to expand mail-in voting as a “rigged system.”
“We’re not going to destroy this country by allowing things like that to happen. We’re not destroying our country,” he said.
At the same time, he has acknowledged there are some acceptable instances of mail-in voting – such as his own.
“Absentee is OK: You’re sick. You’re away. As an example, I have to do an absentee because I’m voting in Florida, and I happen to be President. I live in that very beautiful house over there that’s painted white,” he said from the Rose Garden on Tuesday.
Over the past month, Trump and his aides have repeatedly explained his absentee vote as necessary because he was busy carrying out his role out-of-state.
“You know why I voted? Because I happened to be in the White House and I won’t be able to go to Florida and vote,” Trump said in April.
“If you’re President of the United States and if you vote in Florida, and you can’t be there, you should be able to send in a ballot,” he said last week at a factory in Michigan.
SLATE.com: George Barnhill didn’t arrest Ahmaud Arbery’s killers but zealously prosecuted a black woman for voter “fraud.”
# The District Attorney Who Saw “No Grounds for Arrest” in the Killing of Ahmaud Arbery Has a HistoryBarnhill’s role in the Arbery shooting is his first real brush with national scrutiny. But I recalled Barnhill from an assignment in 2017, when he was doggedly pursuing Olivia Pearson on charges of felony voter fraud. Pearson, a 58-year-old black activist and city commissioner in the South Georgia town of Douglas, stood accused of improperly helping a woman vote—showing a young, first-time, black voter how to use a voting machine when she didn’t know how—in October 2012.
Barnhill had worked as a prosecutor in this rural corner of Georgia since graduating from Samford University’s Cumberland School of Law in 1983. In 2014, he was elected district attorney of a six-county region. “Criminal prosecution is what I do,” Barnhill told the Waycross Journal-Herald in 2014. “I enjoy trying cases. This has always been my profession, what I chose to do.”
Barnhill’s prosecution of Pearson was part of a larger campaign by then–Secretary of State (and now Gov.) Brian Kemp, Georgia’s top elections official, to make vigilance against voter fraud a priority. I was alerted to the case while reporting on voter suppression efforts heading into the 2016 presidential election. Voting rights groups flagged Barnhill’s prosecution as part of an obvious and well-orchestrated attempt to intimidate black voters. After all, Pearson was accused of simply showing a young woman how to use a voting machine, not of influencing her vote.
It was an especially uncommon prosecution: At the time, only 10 of the 154 illegal voter assistance investigations in the previous three years in Georgia had been referred to a prosecutor. Most were closed without a ruling or dismissed. But Barnhill’s office was relentless in pursuing what they saw as an important case, and Pearson’s prosecution spanned two trials and two years.
I covered Pearson’s first trial in April 2017. It ended in a mistrial due to a 29-year-old black female juror named Lenecia Armour, the only juror to stand between Pearson and a felony conviction and a possible 15-year prison sentence. “It was torture,” Armour said at the time of disagreeing with the rest of the jury.“I still have days when that wears on me,” Pearson told me this week. “Because I think about—what if that young juror had given in to their pressure, you know?”
Barnhill’s office quickly refiled the case and the second trial was held in February 2018. This time, Pearson’s prosecution had earned more attention around the state, and a number of local voters’ rights groups helped with her defense. That case ended with much less drama; Pearson was acquitted of all charges after less than 30 minutes of jury deliberations.
Huff Post: Ann Coulter to Face Vote on Voter Fraud Charges in CT | HuffPost Latest News
Will Ann Coulter finally be held accountable for having committed voter fraud? We may find out on October 14th when the matter will come up at a public hearing by Connecticut’s State Elections Commission after an extraordinarily long two-year delay since the complaints about her allegedly illegal absentee votes in 2002 and 2004 were filed.
As The BRAD BLOG spent years documenting beyond a shadow of a doubt concerning her voter registration fraud and voter fraud in a different state, Florida, Ann Coulter committed third degree felony voter registration fraud, along with a first degree voter fraud misdemeanor, when she lied about her residency and then knowingly voted at the wrong polling place in Palm Beach County, FL in 2005.
Years of lying to the media, as well as election and law enforcement officials, and a last minute inappropriate intervention by a former boyfriend in the FBI, helped run out the clock on those charges. Her offenses in the Sunshine State were eventually found to be beyond the statute of limitations by the Florida State Election Commission (FSEC). The stalling by other friendly Florida agencies took so long that the FSEC didn’t receive the case until years after it had been originally reported to law enforcement by the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections. So she got off the hook and was never held accountable for easily documented crimes in Florida. [After years of reporting that part of the story in pieces as it developed, we told the entire sordid tale in one fell swoop in Hustler magazine. That April 2008 exposé can be read in full here.]
However, in Connecticut, where officials complaints were filed in 2009 — by a conservative activist — that she also committed absentee voter fraud in the years prior to moving to Florida, when she allegedly voted illegally from her residence in New York, there is no such statute of limitations for voter fraud.
After a 20-month delay, Coulter’s case is finally coming up for a vote at a public hearing before CT’s State Elections Enforcement Commission (SEEC) on October 14th at 9:00am, 20 Trinity St. in Hartford CT, according to an email from the commission’s MaryAnn Stratton and confirmation from the Commission’s Director of Communication…
Coulter’s (Case) Number Finally Comes Up
Stratton points to the commission’s website where she says “Our agenda can be viewed.” As of this writing, the Commission’s Oct. 14th agenda is not yet posted, however.
In June of 2009, some five months after the original February 2009 complaints had been filed by conservative activist Daniel Borchers, we filed a report on the case asking what the extraordinary delay was about, given that other voters charged with almost identical crimes had seen their cases resolved with the SEEC in just two or three months.
In Coulter’s Connecticut case, the fraud in question occurred in 2002 and again in 2004 when she lived in New York City but apparently voted as still registered at her parents address in the Nutmeg State. Our June 2009 story reported on a number of similar cases, including that of NY resident Daniel Jarvis Brown who had been registered to vote at his parent’s home in CT and illegally cast a ballot in the November 2008 election. His violations of Connecticut General Statutes 9-23g, 9-140, 9-172, 9-359 and 9-360 were resolved in just three months after he cooperated with officials and was allowed to remit a civil penalty of just $1,500 when investigators had determined that he had no prior cases and lacked “specific knowledge concerning registration requirements”.
Coulter, a constitutional attorney at the time of her several alleged instances of voting improprieties in the state of CT, would have a difficult time making such the same claim that Brown did. The statutes she is alleged to have violated, just as Brown did, allow for thousands of dollars in fines, several years in prison, and referral to the Chief State’s Attorney, U.S. Attorney, or U.S. Department of Justice.

This is a really stupid strategy. They have no ability to stop states from implementing mail in voting and there’s really shit all they can do about it besides convince Republican governors and legislatures not to do it thus making it harder for their own base to vote. They already convinced those same governors to open back up for sooner than they should’ve. As the pandemic rages on, by November people in those states are going to be even more hesitant to head out to the polls to vote for him. These people are so fucking dumb.
