Pennsylvania election officials warn of 2000 Florida redux
We had a previous thread on this topic shut down, hopefully we can all act like mature Christians as we take up this very important and potentially explosive topic.
There are some that think that mail in voting is safe, secure and a great way to get out the vote.
No doubt, it is a good way to increase the vote.
There are others, myself included, that remember the chaos that ensued from Florida in the 2,000 election. Based on that we see this would be exponentially worse. Why? Because at the end of Nov 2 neither candidate will be conceding, you have to count the mail in votes first. Some states are saying they can count votes that show up days later. So everyone will be waiting for a week. This opens the door for an army of lawyers to litigate each vote in each state. To my opinion I can see many ways this will be disastrous. First, a week or two of complete uncertainty. That uncertainty favors the person in power over the challenger. Second, an army of lawyers and spin doctors trying to spin the story with a thousand different made up stories circulating the internet driving each side into a frenzy. Third, lack of funding and lack of training could turn it into a disaster and open the door for more litigation, lawsuits, incriminations, and protests.
