As the OP I might offer that the topic of this thread was not intended to be voter fraud. It was intended to be a discussion of what the state should do in preparation for the possibility that Covid might still be an issue in August or November. The example of the problems encountered in Wisconsin this week when voters were going to the polls in the midst of Covid was referenced. Several people then replied about how mail in votes were a risk to a fair election and it went a bit sideways.

I am still interested in thoughts on what might be in a good plan. No one has commented on increased voting locations, increasing hours per location, increasing the number of days for early voting, provision of PPE to voters or other options that might be considered. And I hope someone will have a clever, maybe off the wall idea to keep voters safe but still allow them to participate fully.
