frankly, I'm more concerned about hacking of at site voting than I am of mail fraud. with a paper ballot it can investigated. hacked computer records????

the Republicans forced people in Wisconsin to go out during a pandemic to vote at drastically reduced number of sites.

the use of the word "fraud" related to mail in voting is directly correlated to the foolishness spouted everyday by certain members of the administration and Fox News.

there was no "voting the way it was supposed to be". we used to have to vote with paper ballots, then machines with levers, then touch screen. Like everything else in our life, times change. How many people go inside a bank and deal with a teller?

actually, voting by mail takes us back to a time when a paper ballot is handy and available--something that can actually be checked for recounts, etc. seems to be less prone to fraud than computer hacking, etc.
