However, when Willie Sutton was asked "Why do you rob banks?", his reply was "because that's where the money is."
Over the years, mail in voting was such a small percentage of the total vote that it wasn't worth the risk of committing voter fraud. With that percentage increasing greatly, I'm afraid it may become an easy target. I feel the same way about "early voting". Two or three days, yeah, OK, but 30 days? A lot can be revealed in 30 days prior to an election---perhaps a candidate might be charged with murder or rape. Sounds a little far fetched? Remember not to long ago a candidate could have (and IMHO should have) been charged with felony violation of the National Security Act. Once those early votes are cast, they can't be taken back. And 30 days gives plenty of time to run fraudulent votes through the system. I'm not saying it WILL happen, but is it worth the risk? We all know who benefits from the dead and repeat votes already.
No, we all don't know......who does benefit?
