    Meanwhile most military use mail-in voting because they have to.

    Yeah, freedom is bad when it results in cons (who, again, are supposed to be soooo popular) possibly losing elections.

    Even Republicans in Colorado (and Colorado Springs) support mail-in-voting.

      Every republican voter supports mail in voting, for themselves. Like every convenience and or social program.

      Just political spoils IMHO. Alabama is red, Colorado is blue. More money goes to Trump’s supporters

        Alabama also is historically the endpoint for Operation Paperclip rocket scientists.

        So more facism sympathy there.

      I read in another thread that this will cost billions and basically stunt their ability to do anything for a long while up to, during, and after the move - during which foreign enemies will be able to make strides.
