🎧 Lars Larson: Vote-by-Mail Doesn’t Increase Turnout
Lars Larson laments the fact that vote-by-mail does not increase voter participation and often takes weeks to produce a result

The Northwest Nonsense
Should your postman deliver a ballot to the homes of people who can’t legally vote?
Lars Larson
Common sense tells you “no.”
Oregon and Washington Democratic Party elected officials: “yes.”
That’s the problem President Trump tried to solve with his executive order to the U.S. Postal Service.
On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court threw out the lawsuits brought by Oregon, Washington, and the 21 other Democrat Party-run states.
They demand the right to send out fraudulent ballots.
Of course, Secretary of State Tobias Read calls Oregon’s election system “secure, accurate, and fair.”
The facts contradict Read, but as a loyal party member, he has no choice.
Oregon found thousands of foreign citizens registered to vote. A lawsuit forced Read to wipe out 800,000 faulty voter registrations. Despite that, Read insists, “nothing to see here, folks, just move along.”
Oregon officials have worked overtime to sell vote-by-mail. It does not increase voter participation and often takes weeks to produce a result.
But it does let the Democrats cheat, and you notice Oregon and Washington haven’t elected a single Republican Governor in the last four decades
