Potential Unsolicited mail in vote Backfire I think there is a  hidden backfire in the democrats unsolicited mail in vote campaign.  I'll use Pennsylvania as an example.  The democrat vote out of Philly and Pittsburgh put the vote near 100% of the registered voters in 2016 (and other years).  Hard to get any more out of their strongholds.  But there are a lot of Republican or Republican leaning voters that just never get to the polls in the rest of the state.  As one wife said: He grumbles all the time but hasn't voted in many years.  Now he is voting.   Or the gambit by the dems was to get the Republicans to vote by mail and steal them.  I think that is backfiring as well.  The Republicans really want to make sure their vote is counted.
