   Mail in Ballots, with no ID, Sounds like a communist, fake election to me. How will we know, if our own vote counted, or was it diluted, and then discounted, Sounds like a global, election to me, to take control, of the LAND OF THE FREE!!! Would our forefathers, EVER EVER AGREE, TO this surrender, of their liberty

   Not if people follow the rules and truly care about this country.

   As to easier to commit–absolutely YES.

   Dead wrong years of mail-in voting have proven safe and effective with high voter turnout and little fraud as verified by both parties and independent audits. In 43 states and the District of Columbia, any citizen can vote by mail.

   Edie Goldenberg, a University of Michigan political scientist and public policy scholar, studied mail-in balloting as part of a National Academy of Public Administration working group. Her group found that “voting by mail is rarely subject to fraud, does not give an advantage to one political party over another, and can in fact inspire public confidence in the voting process.”
   Many of the protections that keep mail-in voting safe are “built-in safeguards,” according to Charlotte Hill, who is a former elections commissioner now studying voting laws at the University of California, Berkeley, and Jake Grumbach, a political science professor at the University of Washington.

   They explain that special paper, printing details, unique bar codes, and other anti-counterfeiting methods in the election and postal offices combine to “make it hard for one person to vote fraudulently, and even more difficult to commit voter fraud on a scale capable of swinging election outcomes.”
   Public confidence in voting by mail is extremely high in Oregon, which has been conducting all elections that way since 1998, writes Priscilla Southwell, a professor emerita of political science at the University of Oregon.

   She has been studying mail-in voting for almost that entire time and has been struck by the degree of public support for continuing to conduct elections that way, writing:

   “Perhaps the strongest evidence that the system is equitable, fair, reliable, and safe is that in two statewide surveys, I have conducted over the years, a nearly identical percentage of Oregon Republicans and Democrats strongly support voting by mail, and the same is true of elected officials in the state.”

   44 states let all voters track mail-in ballots. The vast majority of states, and the District of Columbia, let all voters track their mail-in ballots – click on each state for a link to its online ballot-tracking system. In the remaining states, some counties and municipalities may have their own systems, which are not included here. Two states only allow statewide online ballot tracking for military service members or overseas voters. Four states do not have statewide online tracking of mailed ballots, though they may have other ways for military and overseas voters to determine whether their ballots have been received, as is required by federal law.

     SORRY. MAIL IN VOTES SHOULD NOT BE USED IN VOTING FOR A PRESIDENT OR ANY OTHER OFFICIAL IN GOV.

   The New York Times said just that years ago. Problematic for fraud. There may be use for citizens and military out of country but something suspicious should be curtailed.
