Mail in voting

Sounds like the GOP has regretted the stance they have taken on mail in voting. With good reason. Can they turn it around while Trump is still out there screaming “fraud!”

Can Republicans Embrace Voting by Mail? Pennsylvania Offers a Test.
Republicans are now trying to sell voters on voting methods that the party has demonized for years. It won’t be easy.

When voters turned out in February to fill a vacant seat in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, the stakes were nothing less than control of the chamber, which Democrats held by a single seat.

Candace Cabanas, the 45-year-old Republican candidate who was running as a working-class mom, faced an uphill battle, though not a hopeless one in a competitive district that has long favored Democrats.

But as Election Day dawned, a nor’easter dumped several inches of snow, stranding would-be voters at home. Bad luck dogged others: One woman backing Ms. Cabanas skipped the polls after she fell ill and was rushed to the hospital.

Ms. Cabanas’s Democratic opponent faced similar hurdles but had one advantage: More than 3,300 of his voters had mailed in their ballots early. Ms. Cabanas could count only 532.

I have only ever voted by mail-in ballot. 
However, we drop ours off at the courthouse. Today, in fact, is the official day of voting in my state.
