Provisional ballots avail a lot more leeway for election officials to legally discard ballots compared to mail-in ballots. Its not legally easier to do so with mail-in ballots

I don't think the person you were responsing to was suggesting mail in ballots are legally easier to disgard but easier to illegally discard.

I was making the distinction explicit. Illegally discarding ballots is...dicey - all it takes would be a journalist submitting a FOI request to the USPS and comparing the tally against counted votes

yes, thank you, exactly what i meant
