Guarding against voter fraud

Statistically, universal voting-by-mail should far outweigh attempts at fraud, which so far have been found insignificant, and which should be the government’s duty to control, partly through heavy fines for those caught. Voter suppression, on the other hand, has a significant impact on the final outcome! It should be obvious that the more votes, the less impact of fraudulent votes. An over-riding question is whether it is acceptable to deny so many an easier way to vote, and for many the only way, just because someone may cheat. That doesn’t seem to be much of an issue when it comes to the 2nd Amendment’s right of legal residents to bear arms, while said arms so often are used for illegal purposes, including mass murder of innocent people. That has real impact on those affected, as opposed to voter fraud!

Thank you, Judge Kopp. Ballot harvesting potential, loss of ballots, etc. are a real problem to consider. Pres. Trump is aware of this and taking measures to protect all voters.

"The fact that millions of unused mail-in ballots are floating around in every election cycle “is not a secret type data here – it's sitting there on the Internet, and you're paying for the server cost,” notes Logan Churchwell, a spokesman for PILF. “So what do people that really focus on the election process do about that? They go into ballot harvesting. If there's so many ballots out there in the wind unaccounted for by election officials, surely some manpower could be dedicated to go bring them in. And that's another part of the system where you have weaknesses and risk.”
