No problem with requesting and sending a mail-in ballot, [I did a few times when in the military], BUT that is totally different from sending out mass mail-in ballots [COVID 'era']as seven Blue States do as those are subject to fraud.

Amazing how biden received millions more votes than the very popular obama, and then four years later, about 20 millions of those 'voters' seems t have evaporated - almost as if they never existed.....

"mass mail-in ballots [COVID 'era']as seven Blue States do as those are subject to fraud."

Yet said fraud is extremely rare. How do you explain that? You cannot.

As for "biden received millions more votes than the very popular obama, and then four years later, about 20 millions of those 'voters' seems t have evaporated"

Occam's razor They stayed home.

The 2020 election saw the highest turnout in 120 years, with roughly 66.7% of eligible citizens voting, driven by intense interest in the election and the high-stakes political environment.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many states expanded access to early and mail-in voting, which historically increases voter participation, particularly among certain demographics.

Since 2008, the U.S. population increased from roughly 304 million to over 330 million by 2020, leading to a larger pool of potential voters.

Too bad for you. Mail in voting will continue. You will just have to make sure you mail it in early this year. Maybe take a Tylenol when you try to think about it.

Voter participation was down in all states but 5 in 2024, those being the swing states of PA, MI, WI, GA along with the blue state of RI.

Show your math.
155 million Americans cast ballots in the 2024 Presidential election. 158 million in 2020. That's a difference of 3 million. What's this 20 million you are talking about?

The only mass election fraud that occurred was Trump fraudulently claiming there is mass fraud.

Then perhaps you could point out the problems with the collective 56 years of experience of all mail balloting of CO, WA and OR.

So despite your best effort to fulfill your duty to establish systems and protocols to prevent such problems, factors beyond your control or contemplation defeated your effort.

Isaac Asimov, 1980...

...
It's hard to quarrel with that ancient justification of the free press: "America's right to know."

It seems almost cruel to ask, ingenuously, "America's right to know what, please? Science? Mathematics? Economics? Foreign languages?"

None of those things, of course. In fact, one might well suppose that the popular feeling is that Americans are a lot better off without any of that tripe.

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."...

Lamp,

Humans.

The less humans are involved in getting information from point A to point B, the better.

Show ID, fill in ballot. Feed ballot into scanner. Record your vote.

No need for all the checks and balances to insure everyone who sent in a ballot by mail got their vote recorded and catch possible attempts to defraud the system.

In person scanned ballots is so much easier to count with virtually no opportunity for lost votes and better verification of the voter eligibility to vote.

But...I'm wasting my time explaining this again.

Some day Congress will need to step into this issue and set standards states will work within.

No one questioned the integrity of mail in voting until Trump lost the 2020 election and made a huge deal about mail in voting being rife with fraud.

Which in turn made deplorable Trumping MAGAts loses their minds and condemn, fear and hate mail in voting.

Trump and republican's narrative worked so well that even when Trump himself votes by mail, they're still gnashing their teeth trying to figure out how to end mail in voting.

BullJohnson, despite his lies about being concerned about the integrity of mail in voting, can't point to a time pre Trump when he ever questioned mail in voting results.

He's nothing more than a useful idiot for Trump.

It's pretty simple.

Trump told you the 2020 election was stolen, that mail in voting has a high margin of fraud, and you believed him so thoroughly that even when you see Trump vote by mail you're unable to realize you've been duped, that he was lying to you.

Meanwhile Trump is raping children and starting wars to distract from his raping of children.

Dan,

Ballot harvesting tends to show up more in places with high population density, large scale mail-in systems, and third-party ballot collection is allowed. It also becomes more feasible in areas with more transient populations.

Those conditions are more common in urban areas, which often vote Democrat.

I'm not arguing for weaker safeguards anywhere. The standards should be the same.

What changes is the scale, implementation, and manpower required. Rural precincts deal with lower volume and simpler logistics.

Large urban systems are far more complex and harder to monitor consistently.

Larger urban voting systems are more likely to bottleneck and require additional handling due to sheer volume.

That introduces more layers of processing and more points where errors can occur.

These are challenges that simply don't exist at the same level in smaller precincts.

"These are challenges that simply don't exist at the same level in smaller precincts."

Except your theory is that bullies within the same household would be either be stealing the ballot, or intimidating others into voting their way.

That has nothing to do with rural v urban. Or the size of the precinct.

Are you claiming it does???

Also, mail in ballots would solve the problem: plenty of opportunity to vote, plenty of time to count.

How about this: explain to us why every time there's a four hour line, it's always minorities. It took me seven minutes from leaving my car door to returning to my car door last time, in my white person precinct.

It's one of the at least half a dozen ways voting can be suppressed if you force in person, day of, voting.

Meanwhile, mail-in ballots means anyone who wants to participate, can.

Which is the one thing BillJohnson doesn't want.

Google AI checks in:
Both rural and urban areas generally utilize the same legal, technological, and procedural standards for counting votes, making neither inherently more accurate than the other. Accuracy depends on local, professional election administration and the use of certified, tested voting machines rather than geographic location, with technology often outperforming manual hand counts.

The assumption is both sides do it, right? And it's a fact: If the two sides commit equal amounts of vote fraud, ZERO net votes are gained.

However...If one side does it 50% MORE than the other (a stunning gap, if true), 1600 episodes of vote fraud, a.k.a. 1600 chances to get a $10K fine and a year in jail, would result in...
