No excuse absentee voting facilitates vote fraud

 Epoch Times:

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Wednesday joined other Republicans in calling to end the state’s current practice of allowing all voters to submit absentee ballots without giving a reason why they cannot vote in person.

He said that the system, referred to as “no-excuse” absentee voting, “opens the door to potential illegal voting, especially in light of the federal rules that deny us the ability to keep voter lists, registration files, clean.”

Raffensperger’s remarks were made at a hearing before the state Houses’s Governmental Affairs Committee and comes as his office continued to dismiss claims that there was any widespread fraud or irregularities in the November election.

Many states across the country implemented no-excuse absentee voting ahead of the November election, saying that it enables voters to bypass physical polling sites amid the pandemic caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus. Georgia, however, has had no-excuse absentee voting for 15 years.

“The no-excuse system voted into law in 2005—long before most of you, if not all of you, long before I was in the General Assembly—it makes no sense when we have three weeks of in-person early voting available,” Raffensperger said, adding later that allowing everyone to vote by mail brings logistical challenges.

His office also released a statement on the same day, saying, “Asking county elections officials to hold no-excuse absentee ballot voting in addition to three weeks of early, in-person voting, and election day voting is too much to manage.
...

I suspect that some in Georgia are exploiting the no-excuse absentee voting in a way that is unfair.  I see no good excuse for keeping it.  My preference is to vote in person during the early voting period.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
