with a montage of Trump's words overlaying pictures of veterans receiving mail down through the years and a title page something like "Voting by mail/Absentee Voting for over 150 Years".

The "fix" is already in, don't you know? The gop will not let their "cash cow" be defeated, he is doing all their work for them. Destroying Social Security and Medicare has been a long time goal for Moscow Mitch and many others. As ridiculous as the entire world thinks tRump is, the gop backs him to the hilt.

They are residents of the state they want to retire in. The military has a big operation, even in the CONUS* to get them all absentee ballots.

*CONUS: continental United States

So, expect anger and indignation from Republicans, demanding that everything gets stopped to count their votes.
