I'm probably preaching to the choir here, but in Europe alone there are 7 countries that have virtually unrestricted mail in ballots (edit: meaning for both people living abroad and inside the country) and 12 more that have it for citizens living abroad.

Why are you lying? Obviously the US is the only country in the world that has mail-in voting. He wrote most of it in caps, it must be true!

The US has had some form of mail in voting longer than it's been a country.

the gop have been working for many decades to remove or restrict mail-voting, since the other forms of voter suppression are at thier limits, when it starts to affect thier own constituents.
