Mail in voting EMAIL notice
 

Both myself and my wife received emails stating that:
Your Vote-by-Mail request has EXPIRED.
Now I am confused as I always check the box on a voters form that I want to continue to vote by mail. I call the number on the form, talk to a very nice lady and was informed that a law was passed that voters need to reregister their desire to vote by mail every voting cycle (I think I got that correct). I was able to do this over the phone.
I almost thought this was a SCAM or SPAM email, so be careful.

A recent change to Florida voting law now requires you to re-register to vote by mail for each general election. The email could have been a scam but the requirement is real.

An unnecessary change to the vote by mail process.

Fewer dead people will likely be voting this way?

I missed the report of how many dead people voted in the last election, were there a lot?

At last count 11780 in Georgia.

And Florida?

Somehow were suppose to discuss this without injecting politics. I can't do it, I'm out.

Don't you just luv how facts and proof have disappeared as being the standard and opinions, hearsay and theories of all kinds have become the gold standard.

You got that right!

My children say Dad's serious warning to us when we were young was "you are tip-toeing up to the line". In today's world I ask myself "at what point is a lie a lie".

Anything to make it harder to vote.

I registered on line and received email receipt confirmation

Unless one is infirm or is not going to be near one's polling place during the voting days, why would you vote by mail when it is a short cart ride to voting booth here in TV?

For Villagers and with early voting, that makes sense. But there is a lot of Florida outside the Villages and a lot of Floridians who are not yet retired, have a golf cart, and can make a short ride to the voting booth here in TV.

What’s so hard about going to a polling station and showing a government issued ID in order to vote. If everyone did that we could all move on from the constant claims of election fraud.

Don't bet on it!

And what is so hard? Infirmaties, travel out of the area (vacation, work), jobs (scheduling, timeoff), and transportation to name a few.

There were fewer dead people who voted than the 5 who did so twice in TV. Just sayin’.

Lol!

Would you be so good as to point to a fact source re those dead folks voting please?

That would be impossible; anything that listed a "less than" number of dead people voting would be labeled fake, incomplete data by someone.

What should be absolutely possible (even easy) is for you to point to a fact source that found more than five dead people voting. If the actual number is 5,000 or 11,780 or something similarly high then it should be very easy to show just six.

Seems redundant and a waste of labor and money. Who is trying to keep the old folks from voting?

Who changed the law? There’s your answer…….

The only accurate statistic on Election Day:

100% of Americans think 50% of Americans have lost their dang minds.

:duck:

Once a General Election date has passed you need to put in another request. It is then good until the next general election. Simple to do online. Takes less than two minutes

"At last count 11780 in Georgia."




OH SNAP!! LOL

VILLAGETINKER is in line to be possibly the next victim as I have also noticed a dramatic increase in the amount and fantastic quality of the new scams that are coming around. I almost fell victim to a USPS SCAM through a text message.

Be extra cautious these days. I’m sick of it all. Enough. The government could stop this in a minute. They have the power and ways to do it I’m almost sure.

Doubtful
 

As long as there are winners and losers there will always be claims of election fraud. It’s a convenient way to claim that a candidate didn’t actually lose.

I believe the post was simply veiled sarcasm. Dead people don't vote except in Chicago.

The only change they should be making to the “mail voting” law(s) is to abolish them! Be there on the 1st Tuesday after the first Monday…don’t tell me you can’t get there. Virtually EVERYONE in this nation makes it into a Walmart every month so I don’t want to hear it. “Absentee Ballots” are a different story and designed for a different reason…overseas military and the TRULY homebound. Want to fix election fraud, here ya go…just put polling places in Walmart.

I’d rather vote by mail. I get my ballot and have time to look up candidates that are not familiar to me. My vote is very important to me. Standing in line with strangers in an enclosed space is not.

Perhaps a little harder, but not that hard. Why should the state go to the trouble, and expense, of sending a ballot if you have changed your mind and decided to vote in person.

Anything? Like proof of citizenship or maybe proof of ID? That's just crazy talk! You're right, everyone deserves a vote. Even if they don't qualify to vote.

Let me guess, you want ID to plop your butt in a plastic chair at the square though? ANYTHING to preserve the integrity of the process. Right?

What's so hard about doing all your shopping at a brick and mortar store? What's so hard about seeing your movie in a theater? What's so hard about standing in line for an hour in the sun or the rain when there are too few booths and the gov't made it illegal, yes illegal for somebody to give you a bottle of water while you wait?

And let's make everyone do all their shopping on the first Tuesday after the first Monday, and lets shut down lots of locations to vote in person especially in minority communities while leaving them open in places like TV. And let's have voting on a weekday not a weekend. After all November was picked because people didn't work in November, they were farmers but now it is a workday.

Make it harder for the poor to vote, make it harder for POC to vote, make it harder for college students to vote, make it harder for those without cars to vote, make it harder for those who try to vote to find a place to do it quickly. Because if you do this, and only a few people who are legally allowed to vote leave the long line or just stay home, only a few per precinct, you just might have 11 thousand voters a state skip voting, just the right kind of people to skip voting so your guy wins.

There is no crisis in voting fraud, there is no evidence any election was stolen. There is evidence that lies are being deliberately spread about fraud that does not exist, and that the business that lies about it knows it is lying, admits in private that it is lying, admits in court that it is lying, and doesn't tell its customers to their face that it had been lying for years.

And because of these big lies, we have to register every two years.

Even the Orange One only claimed 5000.
Turned out it was about four!

The state spends $ on far more unpatriotic things than mail in voting. We like to receive our ballots in advance & research items such as the judges performances, as well as proposed referendums. Our signatures & voting eligibility are still verified upon returning the ballots.

Additionally folks working or unable to get to the polls due to mobility or transportation issues can still vote.

People can be on vacation, traveling for business etc. Honestly, I have not been in a Walmart in years. Nothing in there that I want.

I also thought this was a scam and was about to delete it, but a friend got the same message, called the county voting office, and confirmed that it is real. I guess it’s a new law. Interesting that if you want to vote this way, you MUST have a Social Security number (and provide the last four digits) and you MUST either have a Florida Driver’s License or an official Florida ID card. You MUST have an address, and you mustn’t move between now and voting. Recommended are phone and email. If I were hoping to vote illegally, this would certainly scare me off. I moved from one home in The Villages a couple months ago and hadn’t yet changed my registration. People with new addresses have to print out the form, sign it, and send it in. I’ve done that. I appreciate keeping our elections accurate and keeping people from voting who aren’t supposed to vote. Some people won’t want to sign up because they don’t want this information known or don’t have the ID, but if they don’t, why are they voting?

Very best post on this thread!
