It's sad that you jump to accusations of lying instead of doing a modicum of research. See the first sentence.

Literally took me 20 seconds to find that, BTW.

BTW it's like that in every state I've lived in since I started voting.

Maryland
https://www.elections.state.md.us/voting/absentee.html

Wisconsin
https://www.gab.wi.gov/voters/absentee

California
https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/vote-mail/

And I already linked to Utah.

They all say that any registered voter may vote by mail.

So which are all these states that do not allow people to vote by mail?

Thanks for the info. Any convictions of rape?

No. I don't think he should be in the same category as Bill Cosby, but I'm sure he's been a creepy lecherous guy. Many powerful men are (e.g. Roger Ailes). Donald Trump isn't far behind, although as far as I know only his ex-wife has accused him of rape.

Hillary has used her power for corrupt purposes. She and her husband have earned speaking fees of as much as three quarters of a million dollars for one event. Do you think that's because they are so incredible at inspiring a crowd? Why do you think the payers of those fees have benefited to the tune of tens of millions of dollars and more as a result of decisions that the Clinton's have made subsequent to the speeches.

IF you are so worried about how people earn their money, what about Trump University? At least the groups of people got what they paid for and that was a speech from Hillary.
 
I've always considered myself republican. But, the republican party is broken. My biggest gripe with the party is they haven't done anything since Clinton and Gingrich teamed up and actually did some pretty great stuff.

Now, their whole platform is "oppose Democrats". That's it. They've had power in Congress for years now...not one change to Obamacare. Not one change to foreign policy. Not one change to the banking system.

What exactly have republicans done for the last 5+ years? Anything?

That's my issue. What the republican party is today..it's broken. It's a bunch of poor, racist people running around blaming everyone else for all their problems and a couple rich white guys getting those poor people all riled up with soundbites and fluff.

At least Hillary is trying to do something. At least Bernie is trying to fix somethings.

There's also a child accusing him of rape.

They controlled the House first. The Senate came later. During all this time there was Dem president and the Rs did not have veto proof majorities. The dynamics of the gov and sheer #s hindered many of the Rs desires.

having said that, yes they are broken, yes they are a failure. I'm not really interested in defending them. Just point out a relevant fact IMO.

This makes me sick. And I'm inclined to believe it is likely because of how Trump talks about women anyway.

There are so many men that just do not get it. I am old and fat and unhealthy, and I just had to have a conversation this week with a male coworker about sexual harassment and his inappropriate behavior towards me. When does it end? When I'm dead?

While I agree with that, my perception of the Republican-led Congress has been that their sole focus has been to block any legislation put forward by the Democrats while not attempting to pass much of their own. I don't follow it closely enough to know if my perception is at all accurate because I usually only hear the stories of contention.

But I have been listening to the Republican speeches blaming Obama and Clinton for everything and thinking that they, to a large degree, share in the blame.

I agree with that perception. I think they partly focused on blocking legislation instead of passing their own because they knew they couldn't get it through.
