And what is the big difference? The scale is larger but how are the mechanics and the security concerns that different?
You answered your own question. The system is not capable of the massive increase in volume -- millions of mailings in a 2-4 week span of time, all required to be postmarked or delivered by a deadline. Assuming they made it, and made it on time, then they need PEOPLE to open and count the ballots. Not something the states are staffed or funded to do.
WRONG AGAIN!
WRONG!
It's congress' job, not the president's. But I guess the constitutionality doesn't bother you. Sad.
This is criticism of the caucus system and has nothing to do with mail in voting. Yet we didn't even have a caucus here for republicans.
This article covers an issue raised by early voting, this is not an argument against mail in voting.
Do you even read the articles you post or just post headlines you think sound good?
Look, no one is saying this mail in voting is going to be without its hurdles but it isn't Trump's job to call for a delay in an election that could potentially replace him. This is the type of thing he just says to fan the flames of his supporters so if he loses he can say "see look" and try to undermine the results. Trump isn't stupid, he knows what he is doing. And republicans know that mail in voting makes it easier for certain groups of people to vote who would more likely vote democrat. They are playing the smart game, not the honest game.
Republicans know that fraud REGARDLESS OF PARTY AFFILIATION happens. Now you and the rest of the Liberals want to multiply that fraud potential by millions of ballots? Many ballots are left in trash cans next to apartment mailboxes. People see the envelopes and think "Junk" or "Not voting" and toss it in the closest can. How many of those ballots will it take to swing a close election if one or two people gather them out of the trash and mail them in?
Signatures are not a foolproof method of determining legitimacy. If the apartment manager or other employee there has access to rental agreements, they have access to signatures they can copy. Wouldn't be that hard to come close enough to fool a minimum wage ballot counter.
Then there's the "ballot harvesting'. Let's say 500 registered voters decide to not go to the polls that day. That's 500 votes that could have been cast and might have mattered in the results. Now, let's say a Democrat van pulls up to a housing area the week ballots are hitting mailboxes. They go door to door asking the voters to fill out the ballots and sign them. The ballots are then carried to a drop off location. Now there are 500 more ballots from TARGETED AREAS that are going to possibly decide one or more close elections. The people doing the harvesting are doing this to artificially increase "turn out."
Now imagine one van full of those harvesters pull over and run down a list of registered voters (available online) and put the ballots they collected from an opposing party in trash bags. They aren't actually poll workers, and they aren't the post office. But, here they have control over 500 ballots. Well, 375 after they toss the ones from Republican voters.
This is just one scenario based on many of the reported incidences of similar actions by people working for both major parties.
If we don't have safeguards in place AND TESTED, these gaps in voting security will invite rampant fraud and gaming of the system. That's not ensuring each person has a chance to vote. It's ensuring the party with the most harvesters wins.
