It worked then it can work now and you refuse to take in that most countries make this work in a day and don't make BS excuses.I asked AI to list the arguments for and against and compare the logic behind eachWhen evaluating the arguments for and against mail-in voting, it is helpful to look at empirical data and expert consensus.Fraud: This is the most debated point. While arguments against mail-in voting often raise the potential for widespread fraud, the evidence for it is extremely limited. Numerous studies, including those by the Brennan Center for Justice and the Heritage Foundation, have found that large-scale voter fraud of any kind is exceedingly rare. Instances of ballot harvesting and other types of fraud have occurred, but they are typically isolated and do not appear to be systematic enough to change election outcomes. The argument for removing mail-in voting on the basis of widespread fraud faces a significant challenge from the lack of data supporting such claims.Security: Mail-in voting systems include security measures like signature verification, ballot tracking, and the use of paper ballots, which allow for audits. These features directly address some of the concerns raised. However, in-person voting has its own security measures (ID verification, poll watchers), which some argue are more robust. The argument for in-in person voting having more security, is not directly disproven but is not proven as being more secure either, it just differs.Voter Turnout: The argument that mail-in voting increases voter turnout is well-supported by numerous studies. States that have adopted widespread mail-in voting, such as Oregon and Colorado, have consistently seen higher voter participation rates. This is a tangible, measurable benefit.Cost and Administration: The arguments regarding cost savings and administrative efficiency for election officials are also generally supported by the experience of states that have transitioned to mail-in systems. This is a practical benefit for election administrators and taxpayers.Ballot Rejection: The argument that mail-in ballots have higher rejection rates is also factually correct. However, this is a solvable problem through voter education, automatic signature cures, and other administrative reforms. The question is whether the problem is inherent to the system or a result of how it is implemented.

We need to continue to count ballots for weeks after the election because of BS excuses the rest of the world somehow gets around.

Less complexity. If your argument is that we should do elections the way the rest of the world does, then obviously you're in favor of abolishing the electoral college.The ConversationNo country still uses an electoral college − except the USEvery other country that used an electoral college has been unsatisfied with the results and chosen another way to pick a leader.

Large countries vote in one day and we had the EC in the 80s and 90s. Saying that we can't vote in one day and require ID because of the EC that meets over a month later is ridiculous. One has nothing to do with the other past having a bug up your ass about the EC as well.

Congress can put thru legislation that includes verbiage to ensure we don't end up back with poll taxes and the like. The spirit of the 1965 Voting Rights Act must be upheld. As such, IDs must be very cheap and easy for everyone to get. Nov '26 is far enough away for all states to make it happen but Congress needs to act now.lolno. It's up to each state to decide. Congress ain't doing sheet and neither is Trump. How are we still even having dumb conversations like this?

I’d rather it wasn’t rushed and done correctly but 🤷♂️

Saying it can't be done or that it is an issue is ridiculous since we did it for decades and other countries do it now. It's not us doing it their way but doing it how we did it and how it still works.Saying it should be more that one day is strange as well with the above in mind.
