, just 11% of Trump supporters said they planned to use the mail to vote and it looked like Democrats would anchor the mail-voting expansion.
Doubts about the Postal Service are reasonable, considering the widely reported delays, says Gretchen Macht, an engineering professor who leads the URI Votes group at the University of Rhode Island, but they also could mean crowding on Election Day."For the average voter, [voting in person] is tried and true: 'I know that my vote will count. I know when I get there, I will just wait in line and I will just do it,'"Macht said.
The disparity may be explained by voters not taking into account the relative ease of voting by mail, the company says. Voters who respond in polling that they don't plan to vote by mail may change their mind if they receive a ballot or ballot request form in the mail. The company's data shows similar differences between their projections and the poll responses in other battlegrounds like Wisconsin and Michigan.All this has local election administrators doing their best to guess how their voters will vote this year.
When she does public events, she says the most popular question she gets is whether the mail is a safe way to vote and whether a vote will be counted if it's cast using the mail. It doesn't help, Lennon said, that voters are being barraged with news about the"They're seeing Post Office stuff and they're getting nervous; they're seeing litigation and they're getting nervous," Lennon said."And they want to switch.
Jokes on you I'm doing both 🤔🤔😁😂🤷♂️
What do those officials have to say about the protests and riots?
For the love of God! Let us think for ourselves
That's stupid...people know what to do to stay safe.
Space yourselves and wear a mask. It’s not hard.
Then we will wait in line...safely spaced.
So officials have time to prepare
There’s no reason voting can’t be done in person. Distance and a mask. No touching. If we’re worried about long lines and crowding, open the voting a few days earlier to minimize the “rush”.
I'd gladly walk past an armed group of drunken Proud Boys, into a Covid19 ward engulfed in flames to place my vote in person!!
Joe Biden voted in person
I am voting early, IN PERSON! I want my vote to be counted
Please. If you can shop at Costco you can vote in person.
Well good thing you have a month to sort this
Trump warned people to vote in person during the debate. Now, the media is worried, because Americans are taking the President's advice. It seems odd that top Democrats and their media allies want Americans to vote by mail.
We're in the middle of a Provincial election in BC, Canada, and requests fro mail-in ballots are going thru the roof. Our covid rates are extremely low compared to anywhere in the US. Maybe Canadians are just smarter than americans? (thinks about trump and nods head 'you betcha'.
HA. 'Officials' using scare-tactics since February 2020.
I understand why people are concerned, Trump has screwed up the USPS. I voted today by dropping off my ballot at the Sup. of Election office. I was going to wait for early voting but after the debate I just had to get it done.
Only Democrat 'officials'.
MAGA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Go with option three if possible. In-person early voting.
🤣🤣🤣
Oh like protests? Have the whole thing outside in a tent!
Hence efforts to repeal mask ordinances in some states....
So call up the president and tell him to shut his mouth and quit lying about mail in ballots
If you want to vote in person, vote early. Early voting in Ohio starts on Tuesday, October 6th. If you requested a ballot by mail, bring it with you, so the election officials can invalidate it.
Trump left us with little options. He doesn’t care if we all die of a virus and most of us are willing to die to get that Nazi out of office.
How about in person and early like we can in Virginia
'Officials' damned well better get their shit together. No excuse for any person having difficulty getting a vote in. Good God! This isn't an election for Senior Class President in High School. One way or another, this election will change the world.
Of course it will. Thats exactly what the Republicans want. Anything they can do to discourage or limit voting.
Oh please stop with the Black Plague fear crap
Got my ballot and will drop it off at the clerk's office. That easy.
First record numbers are voting my mail. Now it’s people are going to vote in person. Stop w the nonsense. These stories don’t help.
Early voting people! Safe, easy, and quick. IVoted
With threats to destroy or chain and drag ballot and mail boxes, it's a good idea.
NPR out here tryna suppress the vote. FOH 🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽
Voting by mail is too hard to manage, voting in person is too hard to manage... why can't our government manage setting up polls or efficient ways for people to vote? It's its most basic job.
And now the new kkk aka proud boys will be causing violence bc Heil Trump told them to stand by and more re election day
if your state allows in person voting before the election, please consider this option. it is early in the process & lines are likely short.
If you can riot, then you can vote
Early voting in Texas starts October 13th. I'll be there at 8 a.m.
Wear a mask
Everyone needs to read this:
I'll risk it. My vote WILL BE COUNTED.
It’s worth the sacrifice
The risk assessment seems to have shifted from, 'I don't want to be/cause a crowded line & catch COVID,' to 'I don't want my vote to be delayed or invalidated by Republican malfeasance... or give Trump any ammunition to invalidate the election results.
So tRump can have more deaths he is responsible for.
They’ve given us little choice.
Show up early! Don’t forget that your state may offer in person early voting!!
I don't like the idea of no paper trail
No one is going to take away our vote!!! Do what feels right for you.
Too bad for NPR and the rest of the left that if you read the CDC information carefully, you'll see that it is incredibly safe. Nice try, NPR.
Can we have just one thing that’s not a total shitshow?
🤦🏻♀️facepalm
Unsafe crowds? Oh like the riots
Haha. Have you been out anywhere for Sunday football? Yea - you can vote in person. It’s a laughable and insulting excuse at this point.
Stop with the fear mongering! We have lived with COVID for 10 months!! It is our RIGHT to vote in person!
Screw it! Voting is more important! Wear as a mask, bring sanitizer, and carry on!
Exactly what the gop and realDonaldTrump were hoping for. We will vote and we will win. 💙
Media B's fake news = Obama *shit Clinton *shit %95 percent chance 2016 VS. Biden *shit 59% chance 2020
Just say it’s a protest vote and that will inoculate you against it.
So you don't have a problem with Black Lives Matter in 'unsafe crowding' while demonstrating daily/nightly, but you do have a problem with Trump rallies and voting in person. We gotcha. FakeNewsMedia
I have changed my plan too. I was going to vote by mail. I would like to see a strong Dem win on election night. Our country is worth the risk.
Early vote people! We got this! 💪🏽
There's nothing that's more unsafe than letting this president stay in power, and if I have to die to vote him out I will.
FBI confirms Mail-In Ballots Fraud in PA, a Swing State, 7 Ballots for Trump Discarded.
Unsafe my ass. Get out and vote.
No. I think that’s what they want because tech can be hacked. I’m mail-in but dropping off early
Just vote early.
I just mailed in my ballot today.
Mail In voting is safe. Don’t believe the propaganda that the Trump campaign is pushing.
