US citizens living overseas are still US citizens and so have the right to vote in US elections. Do you want Spanish citizens voting in US elections just because they live in the US?If you live overseas, why should you be allowed to vote here? I can understand for military and people at the embassy and such, but if you choose to live in Spain, vote in their elections.

Even if it costs $2K for the ticket? And counts against days in a foreign country for taxes? That's pretty dear for something that should take 15 minutes.I oppose absentee ballots for anyone except deployed military or other .gov stationed oversees that cannot return home for elections. There's no reason a civilian expat can't make it home for elections if they really want to vote.
Ok. Here's a caveat. "US Intelligence," i.e., FBI, CIA, etc., were debunking fraud claims. Anyone claiming that proves there was no fraud is just as cynical as anyone that claims there was fraud. US Intelligence. That's funny right there.
It wouldn’t have even been a contest had it not been for the pandemic. Everything was going great before that Bad luck. Trump would have won in a landslide. The democratic debates looked like a scene from SNL, all were a joke. (I Voted for Trump)
But I do believe Biden did win in 2020 as a result. I think Trump maybe could have even won if the George Floyd BLM stuff didn’t happen. The democrats milked that for everything they could and it was disgusting.
Right. We should just listen to the voices in Donald Trump’s head.Ok. Here's a caveat. "US Intelligence," i.e., FBI, CIA, etc., were debunking fraud claims.

Two things can be true at the same time. The process can get it wrong (Plessy v Ferguson, Dredd Scott, Kelo v New London) or you can have unjust laws (Prohibition, Jim Crow).At this point, does it really matter? The available legal due process was followed and the election stands. You can’t say you believe in the rule of law and not accept the results of the appointed process. That way leads to anarchy and pain.
That said, any constitutional steps states can take to increase voter confidence in the tallied totals for their state for future elections is good for everyone. So voter ID and provisons to enhance voting security can only help things.
