AP: Trump is using election lies to lay the groundwork for challenging 2024 results if he loses
While we're discussing elections, I have a few process questions. They make sense from a Canadian's point of view, but might assume things that don't apply in the USA.
Quote:Trump has made election lies central to his 2024 campaign, issuing fevered warnings about fraud while promising to take retribution against people he sees as standing in his way.
This year, he is backed by a sophisticated “election integrity” operation built by his campaign and the Republican National Committee that has filed more than 130 lawsuits already and signed up more than 230,000 volunteers being trained to deploy as poll watchers and poll workers across the country on Election Day.

- How do people in long-term hospice care vote? Does the polling station and ballot box go to them, or do they have to go to the ballot box even if they're otherwise bedridden?
- How do homeless people show proof of residence when registering to vote? (In Canada, they get to use the address of any shelter where they've gotten a meal or a bed during the election campaign. There's a special form that the shelter's administrator gives them upon request.)
- How do people in prison vote? Obviously, they can't go to the ballot box, so does the ballot box go to them or do they have to vote by mail?
