With the singular exception of manipulation in North Carolina, during a single election, this just flat out isn't a "thing."

The only people who are fighting against it, are people who have a lot to lose if ALL citizens have better access to casting a vote. They are against it because they are afraid that if more people vote - more people will vote against them. And they would probably be correct.

But it's fear that keeps the votes out of peoples' hands, not fraud.
I call “bull” on that. Every CITIZEN has the right and the responsibility to vote. The more that vote, the better. We are dreadfully apathetic as a nation when it comes to voting. Those that don’t vote now are not going to vote in the mail either. Show your ID and vote as you wish.
