Absentee voting has started for Missouri's April elections but voters are no longer able to legally claim vulnerability to the coronavirus as an excuse to get an absentee ballot.

Until we have herd immunity through vaccination and the other Covid variants under control we should try and prevent spreading the virus. Being Mo is not following best practice in prevention I already know that 50% of us will believe that no modification of behavior or civic functions is necessary

Why should people still put themselves at risk for the virus? There are still a lot of people that still don't wear masks.

For people with compromised health issues, Yes. Not for convenience.

The increase in absentee balloting and other mail voting is often cited by defenders of unsubstantiated claims that the 2020 election was rife with fraud.

No way, i.d. and in person except for our great military

I truly don't believe it's nessasary. I am a critical care diabetic with uncontrolable sugars, and I'm insulin resistant. I have been exposed many times to this virus, but haven't gotten sick yet. Besides, the people running the voting places have things well under control concerning healthy voting.

"Unsubstantiated claims" my butt. Many voter fraud claims have been verified. Trying to hide that fact is not helping your cause.

The Constitution vests the power in the legislative branch to ensure decisions on war are made democratically, rather than by a single person.

It would take congress years to make a decision, and the amount of pork required would be phenomenal. Congress is dysfunctional.

Most congressmen are millionaires, but our nation is nearly $40 Trillion in debt.

Max

Congress can't even pass a budget to fund the government.

It is a dangerous slippery slope that directly interferes with the United Nations . Who is going to be accountable for monies spent, actions taken? Certainly not Trump and his goons
