@1 @Health Both of you and so many people on here seem convinced it’ll be subject to mass electoral fraud, all because Trump said so.
Mail-in voting has had bi-partisan support for some time now, and works in just about every other first world country, No, it is not ripe for abuse. It works fine in Colorado where verification checks are in place to prevent voter fraud. Ballot papers are also kept for 2 years evidence does arise of voter fraud and a recount necessary.
And yes, there may be the odd case of someone passing the verification checks and vote on behalf of a deceased relative. But this isn’t a practical way for any party to garner additional, fraudulent votes on a large scale. Nor would anybody in their right mind think it worth the risk, with the upside being their favored party receives just one additional vote, but the downside being if caught, can be fined $10,000 and a sentence of up to 5 years in jail.
Colorado for example has had just 9 instances of voter fraud since adopting mail-in voting in 2013.
The upside of mail-in voting is it’ll give fairer access to millions to their constitutional right to vote. It’ll also likely make vote counting easier, as counting will not all need to be done the evening of the election.
So please stop peddling this nonsense. Trump is only peddling it to preemptively de-legitimizing the election if he loses.
