I'm sorry for the following all caps but;
THEY ARE LAYING GROUNDWORK TO POSTPONE THE ELECTION.
Once that happens then the Constitution is meaningless.

No one wants to be the person who makes it harder for our service members to vote.
Also while the military has people of all political stripes, on the balance they tend to vote conservative and conservative politicians don't want to disenfranchise their own voters. Just those "other" voters.

namely: "[I]f you’d ever agreed to [Democratic proposals to expand voting access, including vote-by-mail], you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again."
He's right, of course, which is why you won't see it this year, or any year, if the GOP has anything to say about it.
Military votes by mail...how's that working out for you?

I'm glad someone cited the military's efforts to vote by mail which have been "dismal" according to the Latina spokeswoman for a non-partisan group. Even CNN has covered it. President Trump should simply ask CNN if they stand by their reporting or will they pull the 2008 story in order to hide the facts?

Not that you have any idea how the APO system works to get ballots in from global locations ... (HINT: it is a bit different from just dropping your ballot at the local post office)

Why do you cite her ethnic background when she's Latina, when you never do that for any other spokesperson. Hmm.

You realize that's a quote about the 2004 election, right? Surely no one's surprised George W. Bush's administration did a bad job counting mail-in ballots (and let's remember, there were certainly plenty of controversies about counting in-person ballots, lest we forget Ohio + Diebold shenanigans). How about some numbers from an election in the last decade?
