YES! EVERYONE CAN VOTE BY MAIL NOW. There is so much dis-information out there. THINK ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO DO NOT WANT YOU TO VOTE, WHO HAVE BEEN PUTTING UP OBSTACLES TO VOTERS FOR YEARS. These are rumors: that mail in votes will not be counted, that they won’t be opened if sealed by licking (true, they do prefer you use another way) ,that it is not valid and is a cause of voter fraud. So exercise your right and VOTE in the comfort of your home.
According to NBC, President Trump applied for a vote by mail application while in Florida. Military personnel, home bound, and people who travel or have two homes have all voted by mail for years. The League of Women Voters, Brennan Center for Justice, AARP, NAACP, and NCSL (national conference of State Legislators) promote vote by mail and have found that more people vote when offered this choice. They also found that an increase in votes should not favor one party over the other.
