Midland, Michigan just had a couple of dam breaks that for some unthinkable reason were to be managed by HOAs that just ignored them. 10,000 people ordered to evacuate. Going to be close to ten feet of water just washing a town away. 

There's a nuclear powered DOW chemical plant downstream of it. 

During a pandemic. 

You couldn't write that.

Michigan is screwed. See how high numbers jump today.

Not to worry, Trump is on Twitter talking about Michigan - but not about the virus or the dams breaking. He's raging about "voter fraud" because the state is mailing out absentee ballots.

And then there is the virus, that we are supposed to be discussing

Oh it's very much topical.  If we're going to safely conduct an election in November amidst a pandemic we should consider vote-by-mail.  I know I am but that's because anybody can vote absentee in North Carolina and you don't need a reason.

I think the chief executive of the United States having a sloppy meltdown over it is germane.

The Whole Country Voting by mail is a bad-idea. I understand there is a few circumstances that is happens.  However, that is another topic.

It's not going to happen that way because states run their own elections and can make their own rules, and there are several (trigger warning, politics) who are ideologically opposed to letting everybody who is eligible to vote do so.  The federal government can't force a state to adopt universal vote by mail any more than it can force them to stop.  The only way the entire country would vote that way would be if all 50 states decided to by their own volition.

You are correct in that the 3 sources you list so left leaning that I do not consider them credible...but you guys say that about fox, so I’ll consider that even up

what is surprising is that those states you note allow vote by mail, and that no legal action has been taken...not by the states themselves, but by outsiders, and yes by the RNC specifically 

but I will also admit this goes both ways, as we saw down east in the recent congressional race
 

absentee voting is one thing, complete vote by mail just invites huge fraud, on both sides

      Is Hughes on hat trick watch for the Canes? Could he be first star if they win?

      2026 Team Needs

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      QB: Overhaul the room. Jettison Bryce if possible but if he must remain then use a combination of a FA QB and draft QB to replace Dalton and provide realistic replacement options for Bryce when he continues to fail in 2026. RB: Figure out Brooks and Dowdle's future. If Brooks is not going to be a factor, move on and obtain a roster capable backup RB. Dowdle, retain if he is reasonable to afford, if not, find another Dowdle. TE: Find an upgrade that is also a genuine receiving threat. Sanders can be moved/cut, if necessary. OL: Find a starting caliber C through the draft or FA. Extend Ikey and attempt to minimize the early cap hits. Attempt to retain(depending on price) Mays, Corbett and Nijman. Draft IOL and OT as backups/depth. Versatility is key for lower round picks(BC/Mays caliber). Special Teams: Retain Sam Martin. Extend JJ Jansen if he wants to stay. Draft a legitimate WR/KR/PR guy again. It has been years since we have had an above average combo player like this. EDGE: Retain Wonnum/Gipson depending on price. Cut DJ Jones. Bolster this position group through the draft. We currently only field rotational caliber players. This is not sustainable. Get actual pass rushing ability. DL: Find a real NT. Bolster depth and upgrade across the board.  ILB: Find starting caliber ILB's through draft or free agency. There are no current players on the two deep that cannot be upgraded. This is a MASSIVE roster weakness. S: Let Nick Scott walk or sign him as depth for a cheap, short term deal. Upgrades across the board are needed aside from Moehrig.  CB: Bolster depth and find a long term replacement for Jackson through the draft. Depth at this position is extremely weak.
