Well, I agree you are entitled to your opinion, but I disagree with every


Word of that post. I disagree that fraud in voting, particularly at such levels that it has the remotest chance of changing results, has ever been an issue in this country. Ever. The error in your analogy about stealing money is a big part of why. Punishment is too out of whack to make it worth anyone’s time or effort. Would I commit wire fraud for $10, risking 4 or 5 years in federal prison? No - probably not even for $10,000. But for $10,000,000, yeah, people take that risk.

To fraudulently vote for someone else - to forge a signature and/or do whatever I need to do to pose as that person - I’d be risking 10 years in federal prison to alter a single vote. That’s a very significant part of the reason that Trump is spewing never before heard, or even considered, bullshit. He is not saying what nobody else is willing to say - that’s of course just another part of the fantasy of Trump. That he’s this straight shooter. He is the opposite - a snake oil salesman who rarely speaks truth.

Mail in voting should be the future of voting in this country - that is where you are most completely wrong. And effected by Trumpian baseless claims about mail in voting. In fact in states that have used it for up to 2 decades, out of 10s of millions of votes cast in that time, potential fraudulent votes number in the 100s. In total. Not per year. An error rate of 0.00006%. That’s based on exhaustive studies and data.

Trump’s claims are based on nothing but the contents of his anus.
