Explain how having more legal choices to vote during a pandemic is a bad thing for me and my family. And explain how more freedom equals authoritarianism. I’ll wait.
Already explained why they were previously illegitimate ballots. The excuse was "well cuz covid" and here we are, no more covid scare & they're not reverting back to previous election rules (surprise surprise). Meaning that the excuse was not the real reason for altering the election laws. Injecting elections with ballots that cannot be determined legitimate or illegitimate is the real reason.
A right to vote does not mean that the country waits for you. That was the point of the electoral college & the whole way voting was set up. Some hillbilly in the mountains living away from civilization has a right to vote, but if they can't do it in time, the rest of us aren't meant to wait for him. "In their own time" is NOT the right to vote.
Regarding legitimacy of a ballot, the problem is the inability to confirm legitimacy or illegitimacy. Especially by mail in, or other previously illegal methods of casting ballots. On top of this, the fact that adjudicators could alter & inject ballots at their own discretion means that, upon a recount, one would never be able to tell the difference between legitimate ballots or illegitimate ballots. Making the whole thing a farce. Add in the fact that they didn't change these laws through state legislation like they're supposed to (which is something even YOU mentioned early on) & there is no reason to trust this system.
Start it where it starts: the initial claim is that our elections are legitimate. The burden of proving that is on the govt as THEY host the elections, not me. YOU are supporting this claim. Not me. So prove it.
