Yes. Voter fraud is the Great Republican and Conservative witch hunt. Other than a few isolated incidents that have no sway on the election, theyve consistently found Rep/Con concerns are unfounded, baseless, and just really a bunch if nothing. It's been going on for years that theu scream about it, but still nothing. Justvpike they keep saying "repeal and replace" ACA, but replace with what? All these yers later, nothing.

The opportunity for voter fraud is sky high with mail in votes.

Hardly.

Hardly? There have been Rep/Cons so sure that voter fraud is so easy and so problematic they set out to prove it by committing voter fraud. They are found out and later arrested because it turns out voter fraud is actually pretty hard to do.

It's just not an issue big enough or problematic enough to keep frantically searching for it like a crackhead searching through the carpet for crumbs.

Says who?
I mean, other than Republicans who are scared of Trump not paying the Electoral College enough to get re-elected.

I'm somewhat disinterested in the topic, but do you think mail-in voting increases or decreases the chance for fraud compared to electronic voting booths?
What system would you prefer implemented?
Has that system suffered from voter fraud historically?

Psst: most of the ID used to vote in person comes by mail.

Widespread mail-in voting certainly reduces the opportunity for voter suppression. That's why Republicans oppose it.

My Real ID™ was mailed to me after showing two pieces of mail with my name on it..

This is the problem with modern conservatism in a nutshell. "Pssh, people who "look at actual data" say there "isn't sufficient evidence" to conclude that this thing my team insists must be a problem is actually a problem. Forget them!"

The sooner the Right abandons this distain for fact checking and stops inventing "alternate facts" from their imagination, the better off their movement will be.

How? You have to provide a form of ID, anyway. You have to give something like your license or ID number or the last 4 digits of your Social. I vote absentee all the time, except once when I missed the mail-in date. You even have to provide postage.

It also has to scare them. In many Republican controlled areas, such as the red parts of California, often we find more registered Dems than Reps. If all registered voters get a ballot, this means more Dems potentially having their hands on ballots than Reps, and not facing the barriers and obstacles of long lines, times, and other burdens of traditional voting.
It may produce a mini Blue Wave in California.

Are you sure you got a Real ID since it requires more than just two pieces of mail. To start with you need at least one of the following and two pieces of mail with your name on it doesn't work.

Several of the documents on that list don't have photos.

Photo ID isn't required to vote in California in person, either.

How about instead of getting indignant at people daring to question your orange idol, if you think mail in ballots lead to voter fraud, how about showing us any evidence?

Put up or shut up.
