NJ will Move to Mostly Mail-in-Voting for November


New Jersey Governor, Philip D. Murphy ID) to Announce the State will move to Mostly Mail-in-Voting for November's General Election.

All 6.2 Million Registered Voters will Receive a Mail-In Ballot. A Number of Polling Stations will still be Open for residents who want to Cast their Ballots In-Person. This Plan is the same one that New Jersey used for its Primary Elections, largely in part because of the Coronavirus Pandemic.

I think States, in Primaries, should send Ballot Requests First, so they can use Undeliverable Mailings to Clean their Voter Rolls, before do a State Ballot mailing for the General Election.

In addition to the Presidential Election, the State has numerous other Elections Happening November 3rd. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) is up for Re-Election, and all 12 of New Jersey's Congressional House Seats are in play.

The Trump Administration and many Republican Lawmakers have taken a Public Stance against Expanded Mail-in-Voting, often pointing to potential Rampant Voter Fraud.

Voter Fraud is Exceedingly Rare. Most Fraud comes from Candidates, their Campaigns, and Election Officials.

A Handful of States, including: Oregon; Utah; and Washington, already have well-established Mail-in-Voting Systems in place. Trump has also Voted by Mail, Illegally, before in Florida, his Un-Official State of Residence. When he Converted Mar-a-Lago to a Membership Club, he Signed an Agreement to Never use it as his Residence. So his and his Wile's Voter Registration are Invalid. The Florida Fine for this is $5,000.

There is also concern among Democrats that the United States Postal Service (USPS), which is in need of Funding, won't have Resources to accommodate such a Large Influx of Ballots. Democrats have proposed $25 Billion in additional Funding for the USPS in the House's latest Coronavirus Stimulus Package, but Trump, on Thursday, sent Mixed Signals regarding if he Supports the Funding or Not.

In the Morning, Trump suggested that he was Opposed to giving More Funding to the USPS because it will Allow for the Expansion of Mail-in-Voting for November's Elections. "They want $25 billion for the post office. Now, they need that money in order to have the post office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots," Trump said. "Now in the meantime, they aren't getting there. By the way, those are just two items. But if they don't get those two items that means you can't have universal mail-in voting, because they're not equipped to have it."

But later in the day, the President pivoted slightly, saying that he would Support Funding for the USPS but would Not Change Policies the Agency has Adopted that Democrats warn Hamper Mail-in-Voting.
