What's this?

Why? I’m just curious - what data refutes, say, this for example?

This looks like a legit study. This is just one of many that popped up when I googled for vote by mail studies in a thread earlier today.

Not to mention, the entire country didn’t decide to protest. Overall, it’s a very small % of potential US voters. Why does their decision to protest force all voters into a potentially risky situation?
