It is a "curiosity," but undeniable that ALL Democrats are keen to promote MASSIVE mail-in voting in November, and ALL Republicans are against it. Yet few dare to articulate exactly why Democrats believe it would be to their electoral advantage...the Real Reason being obvious. Voter Fraud. On the Republican side, we consider that the Gold Standard of voting is: a pre-registered legal voter presents himself at the polls, shows a photo ID, and casts his ballot on a printed ballot, which is retained and counted at the end of the Election Day. Anything else is a compromise and should be avoided if possible.
But mail-in is something that is difficult to argue against at this time, since our pansy-ass little sisters will whine that they should not have to risk their lives in order to vote.
So here is the "Republican" answer to the conundrum:
If not, why not?

So here is the "Republican" answer to the conundrum:
- Only active registered voters get a ballot mailed to them. All registered voters get a unique district and state-specific voter ID number, which is given out between now and Election Day for "new"voters. Of course, registration requires a state-issued photo ID. Those voters who are not active may re-register according to local rules.
- Ballots must be filled out by hand and signed, in ink.
- Mail-in ballots must be accompanied by a photocopy of the state-issued photo ID. Those registering between now and Election Day can get their photo at the time of registration in person.
- Poll workers must compare the signatures on the state-issued photo ID and the ballot itself.
- It is a crime (summary offense) to mail the ballot of any other person or persons. Summary offense, minimum $500 per mailed ballot.
- It is a crime (same thing) to try to double-vote, that is, mail in a ballot AND try to vote in person.
If not, why not?
