It is not “very safe.” It is how Democrats steal elections.

‘Three large tubs’: Reports of missing absentee ballots pile up
Wisconsin is discovering problems with absentee ballots, including hundreds that were never delivered
Why do you think we’d be fooled into thinking you’re on our side when you supportively retweet Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, and Alexandra Occasional-Cortex, Amy Klobuchar? Not to mention Steve Schmidt, racists Rick Wilson and Joe Walsh, and the Lincoln Project.
Why are you presenting yourself as a Republican? How dumb do you think we are?
I looked at the title of this post and thought, “With all the evidence over the years, how can any person believe mail-in voting is safe?”
I think back to the package of Christmas presents we got from my Aunt and Uncle – not what they sent us, but a mishmash of junk to weigh the package down. Then there was the time our renewed credit cars were stolen the very day they showed up in our mailbox. Inside job? Had to be someone notifying an outsider the cards were there (you can feel them through the envelopes, even if there is nothing on the outside saying they are cards.
Then there are the torn covers of some magazines, like National Review, America’s First Freedom (NRA), or the Weekly Standard (when it used be to good). Couple that with disappearing issues (same mags) and I think at least our local post office has a serious liberal worker problem. Throw in the Postal Worker Union endorsement for Sleepy Joe and you have a recipe for electoral disaster.
I welcome different viewpoints, but the title of this post could have been “Bigfoot and aliens plan on stealing the 2020 election for Joe.”
Dear Drew —
My Republican credentials are rock solid.
I have walked precincts — even for Goldwater, years before I could vote!
I’ve worked in every GOP Presidential contest through Romney in 2012!
I’ve been a GOP candidate for Congress
A Central Committee Member
A significant donor.
Donald Trump is a Trumpist — not a Republican. He does not believe in limited government, balanced budgets, a strong national defense, the USA as the guarantor of a Rules-Based Global Order — the principles of the Republican Party.
I first met Steve Schmidt during the Schwazenegger campaign for California governor. I admire his skills and his patriotism.
Rick Wilson is the man for his hour. His GOP credentials are legendary —
Yes: I am a part of the Lincoln Project. We must burn the Trump Cult down, in order to rebuild the Republican Party on principle not idol worship — especially when the idol is like the Wizard of OZ — a con!
But thanks for following me on Twitter!
Thanks for responding. A lot of podcasters don’t. I’m afraid that your association with the Lincoln Project marks you as a grifter. You can complain about the President, yet the man you praise, Rick Wilson, is not only a racist with a foul mouth, but writes pornography about the President’s daughter on Twitter.
I could post some of his more vile Tweets here, but the redacto-bot on Ricochet would render them invisible. They are that foul.
So I don’t believe a word you say. You are pretending to be a Republican just for money. You and your fellow fakers must be opposed. I look forward to seeing your left-wing donors pulling their funding when they are done using you to divide the Republican party
What is it that you like about him? Is it that he uses the word “f*ck” in every other Tweet? Was it those times he suggested that the President has sex with his own daughter? Is it the confederate flag on his beer cooler, or “the South Shall Rise Again” scrawled on the side?
Here’s a vile Tweet from your pal:
Wait, I thought the Lincoln Project was focused on Trump?! Turns out they want to throw out all Republicans! And you still think we believe you when you call yourself a Republican?
The Lincoln Project sinks to a remarkable new low.
Assuming that’s true, my voter registration is about 30 years old. I doubt my signature from then matches my signature now. So presumably they’ll discard my ballot. Will they tell me?
But I really don’t believe they’re actually one-by-one as they process a few million absentee ballots comparing the signatures with the voter registration card. Let’s be honest – the signature books when you vote in person are really only used in the event of an after-the-fact complaint.
Keeping in mind that the Postal Workers Union has endorsed Biden (but even if they hadn’t):
Ms Cordi,
I hope you understand that if the Democrats take back the White House, the Republic is lost. That is not an exaggeration. Trump wasn’t my guy either, not in the primaries. But I’m behind him now, and even if you don’t love what he’s been able to achieve as I do, you can’t possibly think the alternative is better. Because it isn’t.
You assume she’s honestly a Republican. She’s no more a Republican than Steve Schmidt — who left the Republican Party a couple years ago because nobody on the right would hire him — because not only did he fail to do his job, he trashed his former employers on the way out the door. Political consultants are trash mercenaries who will work for anybody waving enough cash at them. They are loyal to nobody and nothing except their own bank accounts. “Drag a hundred dollar bill through a trailer park . . .”
I mean, praising The Lincoln Project? Rick Wilson and Steve Schmidt? If you’re doing that you’re not even trying to hide the fact that you have no principles.
Why does Ricochet let grifters use their platform? If they’ll run this podcast, why not Pod Save America? Or The Young Turks? Those podcasts are just as destructive, but at least they’re honest about where they’re coming from.
Credentials, shmedentials. You are currently actively campaigning for the Democrat party.
Violent revolution. ‘Got it.
Even other NeverTrumpers say the Lincoln Project is a financial scam and a Democrat front group. (The fact that they’ve moved from just attacking President Trump to now attacking the Republican Party as a whole is a good sign.)
The evidence is quite strong.
