Trump is fiercly fighting against mail voting. I stopped trying to understand Trump’s actions years ago (IMO mainly Surkov style PR). And I guess for the GOP this is the good ol’ “preventing people who don’t vote for me to vote at all”. But I fail to understand why dems and even electoralist lefties are pushing so much for it, not seeing how it could backfire, and why the GOP doesn’t see this as the perfect opportunity to steal the election. Absentee ballots are way more likely to be for progressives and way more likely to “get lost”.

Combine this structural pressure to avoid mail-in and vote in person with the societal pressure to avoid large gathering places to disrupt the spread of COVID and you've got a recipe for absolute chaos
