I wrote “in history” and “ever”. Where did I write “possible”?

Maybe he’s right and even with all the unsolicited sending to everyone on the rolls and having USPS handle them it was still more secure. IDK. Maybe someone can explain it?

It can simultaneously be the case that everyone gets mailed a ballot AND it was the most secure election to date.

It's certainly not axiomatic that mail in voting has a higher rate of fraud than any other system.

Washington State is 100% mail in for years, and there's no evidence that things are any more fraudulent here than anywhere else, but it is much easier for people to vote.

In what ways was the election made more secure?

What states increased their voter integrity laws by means of legislature or policy or governor’s order?

I’m not being facetious. I looked for added regulations, I only found relaxed rules because of Covid. Now. What Covid does that means you can’t sign your ballot, IDK, separate topic.

[Pfhreak]

If it was made more accessible, but not less secure, then the rate of fraud is lower. More participants means the impact of fraud is lower if everything else stays the same.

I don't see any evidence that there was any reduction in "voter integrity". (Whatever that means.)

[SV_BubbleTime]

No. You aren’t talking security. You are talking about a rate of fraud. If I occasionally steal $5 from you sometimes when we meet, your solution to this isn’t to just meet up more and count the number of times I don’t steal from you as higher.

> I don't see any evidence that there was any reduction in "voter integrity".

Must not have looked very hard. PA, NV, WI, MT, GA, and others and others all changed their rules about curing, harvesting, signatures required, naked ballots allowed. Changes per state. In PA the big deal is that the Gov did this unilaterally, but the PA constitution clearly defines that voting laws are by legislature only, the gov did this under emergency powers.

If you aren’t aware that many states relaxed their voting requirements along with unsolicited mail voting - you need a new news source.

Making it easier for people to vote (and make sure their vote is counted correctly, as is the overwhelming primary use case in "curing") is not fraud, it's democracy. The fact that one party is (and historically has been) opposed to this is not something to be proud of.

[SV_BubbleTime]

How is temporarily removing the signature requirement from the secrecy envelope, and removing the requirement for the election office to compare that signature to a previous signature making it “easier to vote” vs weakening the election integrity?

What about Covid changes your ability to abide by the election laws the legislature in the states had determined?

[Pfhreak]

I'm aware that these changes were made.

I'm challenging the idea that these things reduce voter integrity.

You seem to think it's obvious and axiomatic that these processes meaningfully improve voter integrity. Do you have evidence that they make things more secure? Or could it be they are security theater?

[SV_BubbleTime]

> Do you have evidence that they make things more secure?

If that’s your question, where is the evidence that Krebs used?

I gave you examples that under the pretext of Covid, governors removed verification requirements that state legislatures had pre-determined. I can’t help that your hand waving away decades old requirements.

But if you’re gonna ask me for proof, where is yours? show me one way this election was made MORE secure, please.
