How about vote by phone? Then we can watch for spikes in sales of burner phones every two and four years.
Oh, I think the election should be by internet poll on Drudge.

Additionally the could probably push through liberal DC as a state and failed bankrupt Peurto Rico as a state as well.
sounds like they are lighting matches in a very dry barn.

It appears that the Democrats have decided to attempt to ram through a bill that will lock in their power for decades to come, their first act in fact. If you think mail in voting was a scam with the "covid crisis", wait until they push it as law in all 50 states by coercing the states with federal money to either comply or not receive federal funds. Even the ACLU has issues with it for suppressing free speech and objections.
This will lock them into a majority, possibly forever.
HR 1

How H.R. 1 allows Democrats to threaten democracy
www.washingtontimes.com...
At the top on the Democrats’ priority list is not raising the minimum wage, gutting the military or forced health care for all. Nope. Their first priority is rigging elections. So, if you thought the 2020 election season was a nightmare, then you are really not going to approve of the Democratic plan to turn that debacle into a never-ending reality.
The title of H.R. 1, dubbed “For the People Act” (the Senate companion measure is S. 949.) reminds one of the Orwellian double speak, “War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery.” It ought to be called, “For the Democrats Act.”
H.R. 1 a monster initially coming in at 622 pages when first introduced — would remake the American political system to ensure “progressive” victories for years to come.
Democrats Have Released a Roadmap to One-Party Rule

The legislation also allows third parties to collect ballots from an unlimited number of absentee voters and submit them through ballot drop boxes, dramatically increasing the risk that vulnerable Americans could be bullied, bribed, or blackmailed for their votes without the protection of election workers.
Under the rules outlined in HR 1, election observers wouldn’t even be able to challenge the legitimacy of ballots without written documentation, making it virtually impossible to document or detect election irregularities.
Nothing in this legislation could plausibly be interpreted as a means of restoring public confidence in our elections — but the reforms establish a clear roadmap to one-party rule.
H.R. 1 Is For The Politicians, Not The People
thehill.com...
It’s a bill that lines the pockets of every politician by publicly funding campaigns, federalizes our election system, and restricts your First Amendment right protected by the U.S. Constitution – a strong point of opposition from the ACLU. That’s not a bill for the people, that’s a bill for the politicians.
Violating your First Amendment rights isn’t “for the people.” The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), an organization typically in support of the policies advanced by the Democratic Party, opposes this bill because of the many provisions in H.R. 1 that would “unconstitutionally impinge on the free speech rights of American citizens and public interest organizations. They will have the effect of harming our public discourse by silencing necessary voices that would otherwise speak out about the public issues of the day.”

ACLU blasts Democrats' election bill as unconstitutional
www.washingtontimes.com...
The American Civil Liberties Union dealt a blow Monday to Democrats’ new election overhaul legislation, saying the bill does too much damage to the First Amendment and the storied rights group cannot support it.
ACLU officials said they support parts of the bill, such as making it easier to register to vote, but said the legislation attempts to control even the mere mention of a politician, which goes too far.
“They will have the effect of harming our public discourse by silencing necessary voices that would otherwise speak out about the public issues of the day,” the ACLU’s national political director and senior legislative counsel wrote in a 13-page letter announcing opposition.
You know it is really bad when the ACLU says Democrats have gone to far to try and silence any opposition.
