Considering that mail-in voting, *regardless of the reason for the mail-in, whether absentee or not* has existed since the Civil War, and considering that mail fraud has been negligible since, and considering that even when it IS discovered, it invalidates the fraudulent votes - thus making the actual votes valid and countable..

considering all that, mail-in ballots is not, nor has it ever been, a concern in this country.

In person voting HAS been a problem, particularly in Georgia and Florida, when a certain party did some certain things creating certain problems, and the subsequent attempts at covering it up were exposed.

So if it were me, I'd be more concerned about a certain party's attempts to subvert and corrupt the voting process at the polling places, and less concerned about mail-in voting.

I'm not all that concerned about either. The person I didn't want, took the Florida election fair and square. I don't like it, but I accept it. Hopefully, the people on that side will have the same attitude if their person doesn't win the final national result. Somehow though, considering THEIR history - I don't have much faith in that.

There is a big difference between mail in ballots and absentee ballots. To get absentee ballot you have to request it. One obtained you fill it out and mail it back. The case this year was that millions of ballots were just mailed out with no request. I legally vote in FL but I received a mail ballot from my old home state of MA where I still own a piece of property. So in effect I could have voted twice. I’ll bet there were millions of other similar cases. Absentee ballots are fine but the wholesale mailing of ballots is just wrong.
