I emphasized "mass mail in voting". Not traditional absentee voting in which fraud is much more difficult due to the limited number of times it is used. And signature verification for millions of votes is a problematic for obvious reasons. It is no substitute for ID verification. It also does not stop ballot harvesting, vote buying, voter intimidation, duplicate voting and so on.

Shouldn't every vote count? If so that means ensuring the integrity of the process. Voter rolls are notoriously infected with dead voters, people who have moved and so on. There are many instances where the number of people registered greatly exceed the number of eligible voters. So that means umpteen thousands of invalid ballots will be sent out in many congressional districts. And many will go to the wrong address.

Is it too much to ask for people who are able to show up once or twice a year at a local polling place to ensure that every valid vote counts? The answer is yes if you want to facilitate fraudulent elections.

It is a simple concept. The easier it is to cheat and get away with it, the more tainted elections we will have. Especially in these times where the principle of "ends justifies the means" is embraced by an increasingly radicalized Democratic Party.

In Orange County – once seen as a Republican stronghold in the state– every House seat went to a Democrat after an unprecedented “250,000” vote-by-mail drop-offs were counted, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

“People were carrying in stacks of 100 and 200 of them. We had had multiple people calling to ask if these people were allowed to do this,” Kelley said.
